Alkanes are usually unreactive under ordinary conditions because
(i) the `C-C and C-H` bonds are quite strong
(ii) the `C-C` bonds are nonpolar and `C-H` bonds are weakly polar
(iii) they have no unshared electrons
(iv) they do not possess any functional group

A

(i), (ii)

B

(iii), (iv)

C

(i), (ii), (iii)

D

(i), (ii), (iii), (iv)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
This is low reactivity of alkanes toweards many reagents accounts for the fact that alkanes were originally called paraffins.
