Which compound is least reactive?
Correct answer: A. Ethane
- A. Ethane
- B. Ethene
- C. Benzene
- D. Ethyne
Explanation
Ethane is an alkane and is relatively unreactive due to its single C-C and C-H bonds. It primarily undergoes reactions like combustion and free radical halogenation, but it does not readily participate in addition reactions.

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.
