Question

Assertion: Ethylene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Reason: Ethylene contains carbon -carbon triple covalent bond.

Answer 1

Solution : (1) Ethylene (CH2=CH2) contains a double bond between carbon atoms. (2) Thus, the valencies of the two carbon atoms are not fully satisfied by single covalent bonds. Hence, ethylene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Answer 2

Answer:

Assertion is true but reason is false.

Explanation:

to make you understand better ethylene is also called ethene which we know is from the family of alkenes hence its unsaturated and its formula is C2H4 therefore it is a hydrocarbon hence assertion is true.

but it forms double bonds instead of triple bonds therefore the reason is false.
