Differentiate between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons giving one example each . |
|
Answer» Solution :The organic COMPOUNDS where the carbon atoms are bonded with each other with single bonds are called SATURATED compounds. The saturated carbon chains with HYDROGEN are KNOWN as Alkanes. Example: methane `CH_4`. The organic compounds where the carbon atoms are bonded with each other with multiple bonds [double or TRIPLE bonds] are called unsaturated compounds. The hydrocarbons with at least one double bond between carbon atoms are known as Alkenes and the ones with at least one triple bond are known as Alkynes. Example: Ethene `[C_2H_4]` and Ethyne `[C_2H_2].` |
