Question

CH₄
C₂H₆
C2H4
C3H8​

Answer 1

Answer:

C2H6. mark me brainliest please

Answer 2

Answer:

C₂H₄ is the odd one out

Explanation:

• CH₄ belongs to alkane family

CH₄ is actually methane because there is only 1 carbon atom and it is of the general form:

Cₙ H₂ₙ₊₂

where n is the number of carbon atoms.

• C₂H₆ belongs to alkane family.

C₂H₆ is the formula for ethane because it has 2 carbon atoms and is of the general form:

Cₙ H₂ₙ₊₂

where n is the number of carbon atoms.

• C₂H₄ belongs to alkene family.

C₂H₄ is the formula for ethene because it has 2 carbon atoms and is of the general form:

Cₙ H₂ₙ

where n is the number of carbon atoms.

• C₃H₈ again belongs to alkane family.

C₃H₈ is the formula of propane because it has 3 carbon atoms and is of the general form:

Cₙ H₂ₙ₊₂

where n is the number of carbon atoms.

Since C₂H₄ belongs to alkene family and all others belong to alkane family, C₂H₄ is the odd one out.
