Two carbon compounds A and B the molecular formula C_(3)H_(8) and C_(3)H_(6) respectively. Which one of the two is most likely to show addition reaction? Justify your answer.

Answer»

Solution :Compound A `(C_(3)H_(8))` is saturated and compound B `(C_(3)H_(6))` is unsaturated HYDROCARBON(with a double bond). As we KNOW that addition reactions are a characteristic property of unsaturated hydrocarbons, thus the compound B `(C_(3)H_(6))` is most likely to show addition REACTION.
