Question

what are hydrocarbons? What are saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?​

Answer 1

Saturated Hydrocarbons — contain only carbon- carbon single bonds. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons — contain carbon- carbon double or triple bonds (more hydrogens can be added). In the carbon-carbon double bond, two pairs of electrons are being shared, leaving the carbon free to bond to two other things.

A hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are group 14 hybrids, which means they contain hydrogen, as well as atoms of the carbon 14 group; carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead. Carbon has 4 electrons, which means it has exactly 4 bonds to make, to be stable.

Saturated Hydrocarbons — contain only carbon- carbon single bonds. • Unsaturated Hydrocarbons — contain carbon- carbon double or triple bonds (more hydrogens can be added).
