Question

rank the carbon - carbon bonds in the following hydrocarbons according to their bond strength. hydrocarbons (3 images) (drag and drop into the appropriate area) c - c bond strength c₂h₄ c₂h₆

Explanation:

Step1: Identify bond types

$C_2H_4$ has a C - C double bond, $C_2H_6$ has a C - C single bond. Double bonds are stronger than single bonds.

Step2: Rank the bonds

The C - C double bond in $C_2H_4$ is stronger than the C - C single bond in $C_2H_6$. So the ranking from strongest to weakest: $C_2H_4$ (1), $C_2H_6$ (2).

Answer:

1. $C_2H_4$
2. $C_2H_6$
