1) False - 1,6-heptadiyne contains two triple bonds, not four double bonds. 2) True - Markovnikov's rule is used to predict the major product in the addition of water (hydration) to alkenes like 2-butene. 3) False - Benzene contains only delocalized π bonds, not both localized and delocalized bonds.
