Question

Which of the following compounds does not contain a multiple bond?

• A. Ethane
• B. Ethene
• C. Ethyne
• D. Benzene

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Ethane

Ethane- C₂H₆ has carbon-carbon single covalent bond.

$\bullet$ Ethene $(C{H}_2=C{H}_2)$ contains double bonds.
$\bullet$ Ethyne contains triple bonds.
$\bullet$ Benzene $\left(C_6{H}_6\right)$ contains double bonds.
Hence, ethane is the only compund that does not contain multiple bonds.
