Difference between saturated and unsaturated carbon |
|
Answer» Saturated carbon has single bond while unsaturated carbon has more bond \tSaturated hydrocarbonsUnsaturated hydrocarbonsSaturated hydrocarbons are the compounds containing only single covalent bonds. These are also known as alkanes.\xa0Unsaturated hydrocarbons are the straight chain compounds containing double or triple covalent bonds. Hydrocarbons with a double bond between carbon atoms are known as alkenes.\xa0Hydrocarbons with triple bonds between carbon atoms are known as alkynes.\xa0These compounds have more number of hydrogen atoms when compared to its corresponding unsaturated hydrocarbons.These compounds have less number of hydrogen atoms when compared to its corresponding unsaturated hydrocarbons.These compounds are less reactive.These compounds are more reactive.These compounds under go substitution reactions. CH4\xa0+ Cl2\xa0\xa0→ CH3Cl + HClThese compounds under go addition reactions. Ex: CH2=CH2\xa0+ H2\xa0→ CH3\xa0- CH3Saturated hydrocarbons burns with blue flameUnsaturated hydrocarbons burns with sooty flame\t\xa0 Saturated carbon has only single bond while unsaturated can be formed double and triple bond. |
