Question

multiple choice 1 point compared to a hydrocarbon chain where all the carbon atoms are linked by single bonds, a hydrocarbon chain with the same number of carbon atoms but with one or more double bonds will ______. be more likely to form ionic bonds be more flexible in structure be more polar have less hydrogen atom

Explanation:

Hydrocarbons are nonpolar, so double bonds don't affect polarity. Ionic bonds form between charged species, which hydrocarbons are not. A double bond restricts rotation, making the chain less flexible. A carbon with a double bond has fewer hydrogens than one with only single bonds: a single-bonded carbon in a chain has 2 hydrogens, while a double-bonded one has 1, so the whole chain has fewer total hydrogen atoms.

Answer:

Have less hydrogen atom
