My answer is “A” because , it is ethene and its from the alkene family , so there is a double bond between the two carbon atoms and this can be broken to join with two chlorine atoms.

Hi Qasim,

You are absolutely correct. Keep checking more exam-based chemistry questions under “Chemistry Qns & Ans” under CATEGORY on the right hand side of this blog.

Where are you from?

Hear from you.

Hi Gary,

Good to see you contributing to this blogsite again.

C=C gives the unsaturation (and thus the reactivity) for Addition Reactions to occur.

As shown by my previous comments, Alkynes (C-C triple bonds) also allows Addition Reaction to happen.

Cheers,
Sean

PS: I will be conducting an Intensive 1-2 days Intensive Mastery Organic Chemistry Workshop in last weekend of June. Will post more details in this blogsite soon.
