Question

Give difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons chemically

Answer 1

Hello my friend.

Saturated Hydrocarbons have only  single bonds between their carbon atoms, while Unsaturated Hydrocarbons have multiple bonds ( double / triple ) between the carbon atoms.

Also, saturated compounds always burn with a clean blue flame, while unsaturated compounds burn with a yellow flame and release soot particles due to higher proportion of unburnt carbon particles.

Hope this helps! Please mark as brainliest.

Answer 2

Saturated hydrocarbons : in saturated hydrocarbons all Carbon atoms are bonded to other carbon atoms through carbon - carbon single bonds.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons :In unsaturated hydrocarbons their exists carbon = carbon double bond or carbon =- carbon triple Bond.

CHEMICAL TEST to distinguish between saturated and unsaturated compounds :

1.BY BAEYER'S REAGENT : An alkaline solution of KMnO4 is known as Baeyer's reagent .

Take a small amount of saturated and unsaturated compounds in two different test tubes. A drop of Alkaline solution of KMnO4 is added to both the test tubes. The pink colour of Alkaline KMnO4 solution gets discharged in the test tube containing unsaturated compounds, while the pink colour of Alkaline KMnO4 solution does not get decolorize (no change) in the test tube containing saturated compounds.

2. BY BROMINE WATER : The colour of bromine water is brown.•With bromine water saturated compounds do not decolourise bromine water.•With bromine water unsaturated compounds decolourises the bromine water.
