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.

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.
