Solution

The chain of hydrocarbons in which an addition reaction with hydrogen can take place are alkene $(C_{n} H_{2 n})$ and alkyne $(C_{n} H_{2 n - 2})$ .

The essential condition required for an addition reaction to occur is that the hydrocarbons should contain double or triple bond, i.e., they should be unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Reaction of alkene: Addition of hydrogen to ethene produces ethane (alkane)
$C H_{2} = C H_{2} + H_{2} N i \to C H_{3} - C H_{3}$

Reaction of alkyne: Addition of hydrogen to ethyne produce ethane (alkane). 2 molecules of hydrogen are required in this reaction.
$C H \equiv C H + 2 H_{2} N i \to C H_{3} - C H_{3}$
