Chapter 11, Problem 77E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The product of the reaction of ${\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_4$ with ${\text{D}}_2$ is to be predicted and the confirmation of the mechanism for the hydrogenation of ${\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_4$ given in the Section $11.7$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction The compounds containing multiple $\text{C-C}$ bonds are known as unsaturated compounds. For converting the unsaturated compounds into saturated compounds the process of hydrogenation is used.

To predict: The product of the reaction of ${\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_4$ with ${\text{D}}_2$ and the confirmation of the mechanism for the hydrogenation of ${\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_4$ given in the Section $11.7$.
