Answer 2

B) propene is the name of an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing 3 carbon atoms and a double bond.

Hydrocarbons are the compounds containing hydrogen and carbon bonded together. They are of two types namely saturated and unsaturated.

Saturated hydrocarbons have single bonds while unsaturated have double and triple bonds. Saturated hydrocarbons are named with suffix -ane.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons with double bond are named with suffix -ene and unstaurated hydrocarbons with triple bonds are named with suffix -yne.
