The compound that was cracked is Decane (C10H₂2). Option A
The term cracking refers to the process by which a heavier hydrocarbons is broken down in order to obtain lighter hydrocarbons. The kinds of cracking that we have are;
1) catalytic cracking
2) Thermal cracking
When we crack up a compound, we can get smaller fractions. Usually, the lighter fractions of a hydrocarbon are much more useful than the heavier fractions this informs the reason why we usually crack up hydrocarbons.
Now, we know that compounds that were obtained from the cracking are; pentane (C5H12). propene (C3H6), and ethene (C₂H4). Thus the compound that was cracked is Decane (C10H₂2). Option A
