Question

defference between saturated hydrocarbons and unsaturated hydrocarbons

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

saturated hydrocarbons:-

• they have single bonds between two carbon atoms

• carbon atoms are sp3 (alkanes) hybridized
• mono carbon compound possible

unsaturated hydrocarbons:-

• they have triple (alkynes) or double (alkenes) bonds between two carbon atoms

• carbon atoms are sp2 (alkenes) and sp (alkynes) hybridized
• mono carbon compound not possible

Answer 2

Answer :-

• Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that have double or triple covalent bonds between adjacent carbon atoms.
• Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms
