Answer:

The correct answer is - D C2H4.

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons with single covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkanes. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is CnH2n+2

Unsaturated hydrocarbons the hydrocarbons with double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is CnH2n and CnHn-2

For the given options:

Option D: C2H4, is the simplest alkene with a double bond so it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Answer:

The dipole moment of H-C bond will be smaller than that of an H-I bond.

Explanation:

The electronegativity of iodine is greater than that of hydrogen.As a result the iodine atom tends to attract the bond electron pair of H-I bond towards itself creating a bond dipole which does not occur in case of H-C bond as the electronegativity of carbon and hydrogen are almost same.

That"s why dipole moment of H-C bond is smaller than that of H-I bond.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}$ . When sodium loses one electron then it will attain +1 charge and its electronic configuration will be as follows.

$Na^{+}$ : $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}$

Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{5}$ . When fluorine gains an electron then it acquires -1 charge and its electronic configuration is as follows.

$F^{-}$ : $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}$

Atomic number of aluminium is 13 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{1}$ . When aluminium loses its valence electrons then it acquires +3 charge and its electronic configuration is as follows.
