Question

Which of the following compounds will undergo addition reaction?

Options

• C₄H₁₀

• C₄H₈

• C₃H₈

• CH₄

Answer 1

C₄H₈

Explanation:

Addition reactions are characteristic of unsaturated hydrocarbons like alkenes and alkynes. C₄H₈ (butene) is an alkene containing a double bond, whereas C₃H₈, C₄H₁₀, and CH₄ are saturated alkanes that only undergo substitution reactions.
