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>Example of HTML disabled attribute with button</title><!-- Sets the title of the webpage -->
</head><!-- End of head section -->
<body><!-- Start of body section -->
<form action="example.php" method="post"><!-- Start of form element with action and method attributes -->
First Name : <input type="text" name="Fname"><br><!-- Input field for entering first name -->
<button type="button" name="Submit" disabled>Submit</button><!-- Button element with type "button" and disabled attribute, preventing it from being 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 <form> element created with the action attribute set to "example.php" and the method attribute set to "post".
Inside the form, there's an input field for entering the first name, created with the <input> element.
The <button> element is used to create a button labeled "Submit".
The type attribute of the button is set to "button", indicating it's a generic button.
The name attribute of the button is set to "Submit".
The disabled attribute of the button is added, making the button disabled and preventing users from clicking it.
The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
