How hydrogenation occurs in unsaturated hydrocarbon?
Answers
Answer:
Hydrogenation. Hydrogenation is the electrophilic addition of hydrogen gas to unsaturated hydrocarbon. The result will be a more saturated hydrocarbon, but not necessarily become a saturated one.

Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that have one or more carbon-carbon double bond, with a general structure of (R-C=C-R'), where R and R' are hydrocarbon groups attached to either side of the carbon atoms.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are organic compounds that are entirely made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms and consist of a double or a triple bond between two adjacent carbon atoms.
This type of reaction in which both the reacting species combine to form a single product is called an addition reactions. Most of the reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons are initiated by alkenes as the loosely held pi electrons act as a source of electrons for the attacking species
