Question

Which of the following pairs of compounds of carbon will undergo combustion as well as addition reactions?

• A. $C{H}_{4}and{C}_2{H}_6$
• B. $C_2{H}_{6}Oand{C}_3{H}_{8}O$
• C. $C_2{H}_4{O}_{2}and{C}_3{H}_{8}O$
• D. $C_2{H}_{2}and{C}_3{H}_6$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $C_2{H}_{2}and{C}_3{H}_6$

These are unsaturated compounds with double/triple bonds. Hence they will undergo additional reactions and all organic compounds can undergo combustion.
