The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "Ethene can be catalytically hydrogenated." - Ethene (C₂H₄) is an alkene that contains a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C). - Catalytic hydrogenation is a reaction where hydrogen (H₂) is added across the double bond in the presence of a catalyst (such as palladium, platinum, or nickel). - When ethene undergoes catalytic hydrogenation, the double bond is converted into a single bond, resulting in ethane (C₂H₆). **Conclusion for Step 1:** The assertion is correct because ethene can indeed be hydrogenated. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Ethene contains all C-H bonds." - Ethene has the molecular formula C₂H₄, which means it has two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms. - However, it contains a double bond between the carbon atoms (C=C), which means not all bonds in ethene are C-H bonds. The double bond is a C=C bond, not a C-H bond. **Conclusion for Step 2:** The reason is incorrect because ethene does not contain only C-H bonds; it also contains a C=C double bond. ### Step 3: Final Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is true: Ethene can be catalytically hydrogenated. - The reason is false: Ethene does not contain all C-H bonds. Thus, the correct answer to the question is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: The correct option would be C (Assertion is true, Reason is false). ---
