Answer:

B. they are unsaturated

Explanation:

Alkanes are long chain hydrocarbons with only single bonds, alkenes are hydrocarbons with at least one double bond and alkynes are hydrocarbons with at least one triple bond.

Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are all hydrocarbons. Therefore statement D. is incorrect

Hydrocarbons are compounds containing carbon and hydrogen only

Neither of the three are aromatic compounds therefore statement A is incorrect

Saturated hydrocarbons are where all the bonds between atoms are single bonds. Unsaturated hydrocarbonds are when at least there's one double or triple bond.

Alkanes are saturated and Alkynes and alkenes are unsaturated.

therefore statement B is correct where alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated but alkanes are not

Whitepunk [10]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Generally, when we move from top to bottom in a group then there occur increase in the number of electrons due to which there will also occur increase in the number of shells.

As atomic size is the distance between the nucleus and valence shell of an atom. Hence, more is the number of shells present in an atom more will be its atomic radius.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement atomic radius of elements in a group decreases as you go from top to bottom, is generally FALSE.

This is due to the difference in density. The rock is denser than the leaf. And also, the rock is denser than the liquid in the pond. If the material is denser than the other material, it will sink. The same holds true for the rock, it sinks. But when the material is less dense than the other material, it floats. And it holds true for the leaf, it floats.
