Which of the following hydrocarbons undergo addition reactions:
\(C_2H_6, C_3H_8, C_3H_6, C_2H_2\) and \(CH_4\).
Answers (1)
Unsaturated hydrocarbons undergo additional reactions. The unsaturated hydrocarbons General formula is \(C_nH_{2n-2}\) or \(C_nH_{2n}\). In the given compounds \(C_3H_6\) and \(C_2H_2\) undergo additional reactions while \(C_2H_6, C_2H_8\) and \(CH_4\) are saturated hydrocarbons.
