Can u explain? Don’t have to give answer if it’s an honor issue

The image shows a chemical reaction involving the hydrogenation of an organic compound.

### Reaction Description:

- **Left Side:**
- The substrate is a hydrocarbon with a carbon-carbon double bond, depicted as:
- \( H_3C-CH=CH-CH_2-CH_3 \)
- This compound reacts with hydrogen gas (\( H_2 \)).
- The reaction is catalyzed by palladium (Pd), indicated above the reaction arrow.

- **Right Side:**
- The product is an alkane, where the double bond has been converted into a single bond, fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. The molecular structure is:
- \( H_3C-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3 \)

### Note:
The image indicates that the reaction shown is marked as "Incorrect," suggesting that there may be a misunderstanding in the representation or mechanism depicted.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Alkenes are hydrogenated by the reaction with hydrogen in presence of a nickel, platinum, or palladium catalyst. The metal absorbs both hydrogen and alkene and facilitates the contact between hydrogen and alkene.
