Two carbon compounds A and B have molecular formula C3H8 and C3H6 respectively. Which one of the two is most likely to show addition? Justify your answer.
C3H6 is most likely to show addition reaction.
Explanation:
The addition reaction is shown by the unsaturated compounds which contain double bonds or triple bonds like alkenes and alkynes.
C3H8 – 
is a saturated hydrocarbon as it does not contain double bonds or triple bonds.
On the other hand, C3H6 – 
is an unsaturated hydrocarbon as it contains a double bond. Thus, C3H6 undergoes addition reaction.
