Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound absorbs 2 moles of hydrogen and has two unsaturated bonds. Structure IV has two unsaturated bonds and upon hydrogenation, can accommodate two hydrogen molecules to become a fully saturated compound. Structures I, II, III, and V do not have two unsaturated bonds and therefore cannot absorb 2 moles of hydrogen.
