Question

What is mean't by unsaturated hydrocarbons?Write three examples of it.

Answer 1

Answer:

A unsaturated hydrocarbon molecule containing one or more double or triple bonds, and can thus absorb more hydrogen atoms.

Example:

Ethene, C2H4, is an example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Other examples of unsaturated compounds are benzene, C6H6, and acetic acid, C2H4O2.

All bond angles about the carbon-carbon double bond are 120o. All atoms bonded to the double bonded carbon atoms lie in the same plane.
