Assertion-Reason 1:
Assertion (A): Alkanes are less reactive compared to alkenes and alkynes.
Reason (R): Alkanes have only single bonds, while alkenes and alkynes have double and triple bonds,
respectively.
A) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
C) A is true, but R is false
D) A is false, but R is true
Assertion-Reason 2:
Assertion (A): Alkenes undergo addition reactions more readily than alkanes.
Reason (R): The double bonds in alkenes are weaker than the single bonds in alkanes and are easier to break.
A) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
C) A is true, but R is false
D) A is false, but R is true
Case Study: Understanding the Structure and Reactivity of Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes
Case Scenario: A petrochemical company is designing a new process to refine crude oil into useful products like gasoline,
plastics, and synthetic fibres. The company wants to understand the differences between the three major types of
hydrocarbons—alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes—so they can optimize their processes. They also need to know how these
compounds react under different conditions for various industrial applications.
Question 1:
Why are alkanes considered less reactive than alkenes and alkynes in chemical reactions?
Question 2:
How does the presence of a double or triple bond in alkenes and alkynes affect their chemical properties
compared to alkanes?
Question 3:
In the context of the petrochemical industry, how do the combustion properties of alkanes make them ideal for
use as fuels, whereas alkenes and alkynes are more valuable for chemical synthesis?
Question 4:
What types of reactions can alkenes and alkynes undergo due to the presence of multiple bonds, and how are
these reactions useful in industrial applications, such as the production of plastics?
