Question

Which one is unsaturated hydrocarbon?

options:
I) C3H8
2) CH4
3) C2H6
4) C2H4

pls tell the answer fast ​

Answer 1

The correct answer is - D C2H4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons with single covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkanes. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is CnH2n+2

Unsaturated hydrocarbons the hydrocarbons with double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is CnH2n and CnHn-2

For the given options:

Option D: C2H4, is the simplest alkene with a double bond so it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
