Options
- AA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
- BA-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
- CA-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
- DA-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
Correct answer
B. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
Step-by-step solution
For C ₂ H ₄ (Ethene), the structure is H ₂ C = CH ₂ . It contains 4 C - H single bonds and 1 C = C double bond. A single bond is a bond, and a double bond consists of 1 and 1 bond. Total bonds: 5 bonds and 1 bond. Thus, A matches IV. For C ₂ H ₂ (Ethyne), the structure is HC CH . It contains 2 C - H single bonds and 1 C C triple bond. A triple bond consists of 1 and 2 bonds. Total bonds: 3 bonds and 2 bonds. Thus, B matches I. For CH ₄ (Methane), the central carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms via single bond
