Question
What type of reaction is common to both the ethene and ethyne compounds? Why methane does not undergo this type of reaction.
Solution
Addition reactions are common to both of these compounds. Methane does not undergo this type of reaction because it is bound with four hydrogen atoms, while in ethane, double bonds break and provide a site for addition.
