Q. The most reactive hydrocabon is:

 1789  219 JIPMERJIPMER 2002Hydrocarbons Report Error

Solution:

Ethene is the most reactive hydrocarbon among these. The reason is that it is unsaturated, hence, more reactive than alkanes. On the other hand, ethyne (despite being unsaturated) has a very short C?C bond length ) due to which bond becomes stronger and hence, it is less stable than ethene.
