Question

In an addition reaction, which bond of the reactant is broken?

a. carbon carbon single bond
c. carbon carbon double bond
b. carbon hydrogen single bond
d. carbon hydrogen double bondIn chemistry, a hydrogen bond is a type of attractive intermolecular force that exists between two partial electric charges of opposite polarity. [ Although stronger than most other intermolecular forces, the hydrogen bond is much weaker than both the ionic bond and the covalent bond. ]

Answer 1

it's c carbon to carbon double bond

Answer 2

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A reaction in which two or more molecules combine together to result in the formation of a larger molecules then this type of reactions are known as addition reactions.

Usually compounds which contain a double bond undergo addition reactions.

For example, a compound with carbon-carbon double bond, carbonyl group, imine group etc undergo addition reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that in an addition reaction, carbon carbon double bond of the reactant is broken.
