a semi solid substance formed when unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrogenated
Answers
Answer:
Hydrogenation – meaning, to treat with hydrogen – is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (H2) and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel, palladium or platinum. The process is commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds. Hydrogenation typically constitutes the addition of pairs of hydrogen atoms to a molecule, often an alkene. Catalysts are required for the reaction to be usable; non-catalytic hydrogenation takes place only at very high temperatures. Hydrogenation reduces double and triple bonds in hydrocarbons.[1]
addition of hydrogen to an unsaturated hydrocarbons to obtain a a saturated hydrocarbon is called hydrogenation so so it is true that a semi solid substance formed when unsaturated hydrocarbons are are hydrogenated this let's to the the formation of saturated hydro carbons which is mainly alkanes group and single bond is formed instead of of double bond
