उत्तर

    1. C2H2 contains a triple bond between the two carbon atoms (one sigma and two pi bonds) and has a linear molecular geometry (180° bond angle).
    2. C2H4 contains a double bond between the two carbon atoms (one sigma and one pi bond) and has a coplanar, trigonal planar geometry (≈ 120° bond angle).
  1. Both compounds commonly undergo addition reactions (such as hydrogenation or halogenation) because they are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing multiple carbon-carbon bonds that can easily open up to bond with new atoms.
