Answer
(i) The special feature of the structure of ethene is that the two carbon atoms are linked by double covalent bond formed by sharing two pairs of electrons between the two carbon atoms.
(ii) The special feature of the structure of ethyne is that the two carbon atoms are linked by triple covalent bond formed by sharing three pairs of electrons between the two carbon atoms.
(b) The above compounds undergo addition reactions. Methane does not undergo this type of reaction as its all 4 valencies are satisfied by hydrogen atoms forming single bond and so they are less reactive and undergo substitution reaction only.
(c) Methoxymethane
