QQuestion
Identify the triple bond unsaturated hydrocarbon:
(a) CH₄
(b) C₂H₆
(c) C₂H₄
(d) C₂H₂
✓Answer
(d) C₂H₂
Explanation
A triple bond unsaturated hydrocarbon is known as an alkyne. Alkynes contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond (C≡C).
Among the given compounds:
- CH₄ (Methane) → Saturated hydrocarbon (single bonds only)
- C₂H₆ (Ethane) → Saturated hydrocarbon (single bonds only)
- C₂H₄ (Ethene) → Unsaturated hydrocarbon (double bond)
- C₂H₂ (Ethyne/Acetylene) → Unsaturated hydrocarbon (triple bond)
