what is saturated & unsaturated hydrocarbon?
Answers
Answer:
Saturated vs. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons. ... Unlike saturated hydrocarbons in which all hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms are bonded together with single bonds, unsaturated hydrocarbons have double or even triple bonds between the carbon atoms.
your answer
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that have double or triple covalent bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. The term "unsaturated" means more hydrogen atoms may be added to the hydrocarbon to make it saturated (i.e. consisting all single bonds).
Saturated hydrocarbons are molecules with only single bonds. They consist of a carbon atom bonded to a maximum number of hydrogen atoms. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons and classified as a type of aliphatic hydrocarbon. Each single bond in a saturated hydrocarbon is a covalent bond.
