Answer 2

The odd man out of the given types is Ethene.

• The given forms are the chemical compounds or hydrocarbons that have carbon and hydrogen in their basic chemical structure.
• However, the three of them are similar because they are part of the alkane family of hydrocarbons.
• Alkane family: These are having carbon-carbon single covalent bonds and are therefore called saturated carbons compounds.
• It includes

1. Methane: First member of the saturated carbon alkane family
2. Propane: Third member of the saturated carbon alkane family
3. Pentane: A Fifth member of the saturated carbon alkane family

• The fourth compound is different in its chemical structure and it belongs to the alkene family.
• Alkene family: These compounds have a carbon-carbon double bond in their structure and therefore are called unsaturated compounds.
• It includes

1. Ethene: First member of unsaturated alkene family.

• Hence, ethene is the odd compound different from others.
