Statement 1: The addition of H2 to ethene will form an unsaturated compound called ethane
Statement 2: Ethane, has as many hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atoms as possible
Statement 1: The addition of H2 to ethene will form an unsaturated compound called ethane
Statement 2: Ethane, has as many hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atoms as possible
The correct option is E
Statement 1 is
not correct but Statement 2 is correct
The saturated compound is a chemical compound that has a chain of carbon atoms linked together by single bonds.
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. An unsaturated compound is a chemical compound that contains carbon-carbon double bonds or triple bonds, such as those found in alkenes or alkynes, respectively.
So ethane is a saturated compound, hence statement 1 is not correct.
Statement 2: Ethane, has as many hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atoms as possible, this statement is true because carbon can make four bonds and ethane is a saturated compound so maximum possible hydrogens are attached.
Hence, the correct option is D.
