Characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices: (1) Alkenes with two to four carbon atoms are gases at room temperature and pressure.
(2) Aromatic hydrocarbons do not readily undergo addition reactions.
(3) HDPE, LDPE, and Teflon are all ethene-based addition polymers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

(1) Alkenes with two to four carbon atoms, such as ethene, propene, and butene, are indeed gases at room temperature and pressure. (2) Aromatic hydrocarbons, like benzene, are stable and do not readily undergo addition reactions due to their resonance-stabilized structure. (3) HDPE and LDPE are ethene-based addition polymers, and Teflon is based on tetrafluoroethene, which is a derivative of ethene.
