Which of the following is an alkane?

A

`C_(2)H_(6)`

B

`C_(3)H_(4)`

C

`C_(2)H_(2)`

D

`C_(4)H_(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The general formula of alkane is `C_(n)H_(2n+2)`
where n = number of carbon atoms.
When `n = 2, C_(n)H_(2n+2)=C_(2)H_(2xx2+2)=C_(2)H_(6)`
