Higher members of alkenes are
Correct answer: A. Solids
- A. Solids
- B. Liquids
- C. Gases
- D. Plasma
Explanation
Higher members of alkenes refer to those with a greater number of carbon atoms. As the number of carbons increases beyond 15, the size and mass of the molecules lead to a solid state. This is due to stronger intermolecular forces of attraction between the larger molecules. The other options are incorrect because they describe the states of alkenes with different ranges of carbon atoms, each corresponding to their own characteristic state based on molecular size.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
