Question

Ethane is considered a saturated organic compound but ethene an unsaturated organic compound.Why?

Answer 1

Ethane has all single bond whereas ethene has a double bond. Thus it is said to be an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Answer 2

GOOD AFTERNOON FRIEND !!

HERE IS UR ANSWER...

➠➠Ethane is considered Saturated as it has only Single bonds in it. It is an Alkane.

➠➠Ethene is considered Unsaturated as it has double bonds in it. It is an Alkene.

And In Detail...The Properties of Both are given below..

Saturated hydrocarbon..

1) A hydrocarbon having single bond .

2) Saturated hydrocarbon is also called Alkane .

3) The name of hydrocarbons is always end with 'ane '

4)The general formula of saturated hydrocarbon is CnH2n+2.

5) It's example is methane ,ethane propane .etc.

6) The saturated hydrocarbon are not very. chemically reactive .

7) The hydrocarbon don't have any double or triple bond..

Unsaturated hydrocarbon

1) A unsaturated hydrocarbon have double and triple bond.

2) Unsaturated hydrocarbon is also called Alkene or Alkyne

3) The name of unsaturated hydrocarbon is always end with 'ene'or 'yne'

4) it's example is ethene ,propene ,ethyne etc....

5)The general formula of unsaturated hydrocarbon is CnH2n or CnH2n-2.

6) The unsaturated hydrocarbons are chemically very reactive .
