In this assignment, you will predict the products of a chemical reaction and explain why you made this prediction. You will use what you have learned about atoms, bonding, and the organization of the periodic table in your explanation. You will then review and revise your prediction and explanation based on some additional information.

the answer is option a.

the answer is true. hope it .

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
