Addition of hydrogen to ethene forms
Correct answer: C. Ethane
- A. Methane
- B. Ethanol
- C. Ethane
- D. Propane
Explanation
When hydrogen is added to ethene (C2H4) in the presence of a suitable catalyst, it forms ethane (C2H6). This process is known as hydrogenation and is used in the production of saturated hydrocarbons. Methane, ethanol, and propane are not the correct products of this reaction.
