A hydrocarbon has molecular formula C2H6. Which of the class of hydrocarbons cannot have this formula?
Updated On: Oct 17, 2024
- (A) Cycloalkene
- (B) Bicycloalkane
- (C) A diene
- (D) None of these

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Explanation:
A bicycloalkene cannot have the formula of C2H6.C2H6 has two degree of unsaturation (two H2 less than saturated hydrocarbons), therefore it can be a diene, a cycloalkene or a bicycloalkane but it cannot be a bicycloalkene because it has three degrees of unsaturation.Hence, the correct option is (D).
A bicycloalkene cannot have the formula of C2H6.C2H6 has two degree of unsaturation (two H2 less than saturated hydrocarbons), therefore it can be a diene, a cycloalkene or a bicycloalkane but it cannot be a bicycloalkene because it has three degrees of unsaturation.Hence, the correct option is (D).
