Solution:

HTML Code :

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- HTML5 document type declaration -->
<html><!-- Start of HTML document -->
<head><!-- Start of head section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Declares document character encoding -->
<title>How to define a clickable button.</title><!-- Sets the title of the webpage -->
</head><!-- End of head section -->
<body><!-- Start of body section -->
<button type="button" onclick="console.log('Welcome Friends')">Click Me!</button><!-- Button element with onclick event handler to log a message to the console when clicked -->
</body><!-- End of body section -->
</html><!-- End of HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML document starts with a doctype declaration indicating it's an HTML5 document.
Inside the <html> tags, the document structure begins.
The <head> section contains metadata about the document, such as character encoding and the title.
The <body> section is where the visible content of the webpage resides.
Within the body section, there's a <button> element created with the type attribute set to "button".
The onclick attribute of the button element specifies a JavaScript code snippet (console.log('Welcome Friends')) to be executed when the button is clicked.
When the button is clicked, the specified JavaScript code will log the message "Welcome Friends" to the browser console.
The button displays the text "Click Me!" as its label.
The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
