Correct answer: Both (2) and (3)
Explanation:
- Ethene has the molecular formula and contains a double bond between carbon atoms.
- Ethyne has the molecular formula and contains a triple bond between carbon atoms.
So, the difference lies in:
- Number of bonds: Ethene has a double bond, while ethyne has a triple bond.
- Number of hydrogens: Ethene has 4 hydrogen atoms, while ethyne has only 2.
Therefore, the correct answer is Both (2) and (3).
