Answer:

The odd one is C2H2 (ethyne).

  • There are four organic chemical compounds mentioned in the question -
  1. C2H2
  2. C3H8
  3. C2H6
  4. CH4
  • Now, C3H8, C2H6 and CH4 are alkane compounds with the general formula of C(n)H(2n+2).
  • Only, the C2H2 is the alkyne compound here, with the general formula of C(n)H(2n-2). The common name of C2H2 is ethyne. (yne for alkyne)
  • For this reason, the C2H2 is the odd term among the given chemical compounds.
