Choosing only words from the following list, write down appropriate words to fill in the blanks from (a) to (e) given below.

Addition, carbohydrates, $C_{n} H_{2 n_{2}}, C_{n} H_{2 n}, C_{n} H_{2 n + 2}$ , electrochemical, homologous, hydrocarbon, saturated, substitution, unsaturated.

The alkanes form a (a) ..... series with the general formula (b)....... . The alkanes are (c).......... (d) ..... which generally undergo (e) ...... reactions.

Q. Assertion :Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain multiple bonds between the two

C -

atoms and show addition reactions. Reason: They also undergo many other chemical reactions that alkanes do not - the double bond in alkenes makes them more reactive than alkanes
