Choose the odd one out and give reasons for your answer :
Propene,Ethene,1-Butene,2-Butene
I choose Ethene as the odd one out because it has no isomers,while the others have atleast 1 isomer.
Was I right in my prediction? If I was wrong,then what is the correct answer,and why?

- Arkadyuti Banerjee Was joking! :P
- Arkadyuti Banerjee BTW propene has an isomer - isopropane.
2-Butene is correct. In all the others the first carbon forms a double bond.
@ Arkadyuti: Isopropane is a mixture of propane and butane. Propene does not have any isomer.
I think it will be 2-Butene as it is an isomer while the others indicate alkenes in their natural state ("natural state" is not a technical term. You have to understand what I mean.)
- Arkadyuti Banerjee Yeah,I understand what you mean. Is my answer correct,sir?
Alkenes with 4 or more than 4 carbon atoms can only form isomers. So i guess in that case 2-Butene is probably be the correct ans.
