Step 1
Which of the following statements about ethene is correct?
Answer
The correct answer is B: ethene is a saturated hydrocarbon. This is because ethene (C₂H₄) contains a double bond between the carbon atoms, making it an unsaturated hydrocarbon rather than a saturated one. Therefore, only option A is inaccurate, while options C and D are also incorrect.
