Which of the following is true of cyclobutane?
A) It is a five-membered cyclic hydrocarbon.
B) It has one carbon-carbon double bond.
C) It is a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon.
D) It is a four-membered, open-chain hydrocarbon.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cyclobutane is a four-membered cyclic hydrocarbon with four carbon atoms and is saturated, meaning it contains only single bonds between the carbon atoms. Option A is incorrect as cyclobutane has only four carbon atoms in the ring, not five. Option B is incorrect as cyclobutane does not have a double bond. Option D is incorrect as cyclobutane is a cyclic hydrocarbon, not an open-chain hydrocarbon.
