In which of the following carbon is double bonded with itself?

Correct answer: C. Alkene

  • A. Alkane
  • B. Ether
  • C. Alkene
  • D. Alkyne

Explanation

Option C is correct because alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain at least one double bond between carbon atoms. This distinguishes them from alkanes, ethers, and alkynes which do not have double bonds. Alkanes only have single bonds, ethers have an oxygen atom between two carbon atoms but no double bonds, and alkynes have triple bonds. Therefore, the correct answer is alkene.
