| Two carbon compounds X and Y have the molecular formula \[{{\mathbf{C}}_{\mathbf{3}}}{{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{6}}}\] and \[{{\mathbf{C}}_{\mathbf{4}}}{{\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{10}}}\] respectively. Which one of the two is most likely to show addition reaction? |
| Justify your answer. Also give the chemical equation to explain the process of addition reaction in this case. |
Answer:
\[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}\] is propene i.e. unsaturated hydrocarbon. \[{{C}_{4}}{{H}_{10}}\] is butane i.e. saturated hydrocarbon. Thus propene being unsaturated shows addition reaction. \[C{{H}_{3}}-CH=C{{H}_{2}}+C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ Cl \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}Cl\]
