Worked Solution & Example Answer:6 (a) Ethane and propane are both alkanes - Edexcel - GCSE Chemistry - Question 6 - 2013 - Paper 1
Step 1
Which of the following statements about ethene is correct?
Answer
The correct statement about ethene is:
B: ethene is a saturated hydrocarbon.
This is because ethene contains a double bond between carbon atoms, making it an alkene and thus not classified as a saturated hydrocarbon; however, we know that option B is incorrect, while A, C, and D contain incorrect claims.
Therefore, the correct option is A (ethene can form a polymer).
