Answer:
The correct answer would be d) C₂H₄. C₂H₄ will undergo Addition Reaction under suitable atmosphere.
Explanation:
What are Addition Reactions?
Addition Reactions are the reactions in which two or more reactants get mixed up or add up together in order to form a single product. In Organic Chemistry, Addition Reactions happen to the Unsaturated Hydrocarbons, which in result give the Saturated Hydrocarbon.
Among all the given options, option (a) CH₄ or Methane, (b) C₃H₈ or Propane and (c) C₂H₆ or Ethane are examples of Saturated hydrocarbons as they are of the form CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. Where, x = number of carbon atoms.
(d) C₂H₄ or Ethene, is an unsaturated hydrocarbon of the form CₓH₂ₓ, where x = 2. Hence, it can undergo Addition Reactions.
