If we remove one hydrogen atom from alkane the rest of group is called

Correct answer: C. Alkyl group

  • A. Alkenes
  • B. Alkynes
  • C. Alkyl group
  • D. Aliphatic

Explanation

The correct answer is Option C, 'Alkyl group.' When a hydrogen atom is removed from an alkane, an alkyl group remains. This group is commonly found as a substituent in organic compounds. The other options, alkenes and alkynes, contain double and triple carbon-carbon bonds respectively, which do not result from the removal of a hydrogen atom from an alkane. 'Aliphatic' is a general term for organic compounds and does not specifically describe the group left after removing a hydrogen from an alkane.
