Question

differentiate between saturated and unsaturated carbon compounds​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation

Saturated carbon compounds

1. In saturated compound  all carbon atoms are linked by only single covalent bonds.

2. These compounds generally burn with clean flame .

3. It Includes Alkanes.

4. Its general formula is Cn H2n+2.

5. Generally not very reactive shows substitution reaction.

Unsaturated carbon compounds

1.In unsaturated compound all carbon atoms are linked by double or triple bond.

2.These compound generally burn with sooty or smoky flame.

3.It Includes Alkene and Alkyne.

4. Its general formula is Cn H2n and Cn H2n-2.

5. They are more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons and generally undergo addition reaction.
