Show ExplanationHide Explanation

Explanation

A carbon–carbon double bond is the characteristic multiple bond of an alkene. An alkene molecule may also contain C–C single bonds, so the question asks for the defining bond rather than every bond that can be present. A C≡C triple bond characterises an alkyne.
