Which of the following hydrocarbons can decolourise bromine water and which cannot? Why?
C6H12, C6H14, C6H10
C6H12 (hexene) and C6H10 (cyclohexene) can decolourise bromine water since these are unsaturated hydrocarbons and hence, can undergo addition reaction.
C6H14 (hexane) cannot decolourise bromine water since it is a saturated hydrocarbon and hence, cannot undergo addition reaction.
