Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structural feature present in unsaturated hydrocarbon that is not present in saturated hydrocarbon has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Organic compounds are the important basis of life. They include gasoline, coal, dyes, and clothing fibers etc. The compounds that are obtained from living organisms are termed as organic compounds and those obtained from the earth are known as inorganic compounds. Organic compounds are found in earth also apart from living organisms. All the organic compounds contain the element carbon. Urea was synthesized in the laboratory which is an organic compound.
Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbon derivatives are the one in which the compounds contain hydrogen and carbon atoms along with one or more additional elements. The additional elements that can be present in hydrocarbon derivatives are oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, chlorine, bromine etc.
Hydrocarbons are further classified into two categories. They are saturated hydrocarbons and

- compare and contrats the physical and chemical properties of open-chain versus closed-chain hydrocarbonsarrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon? Unsaturated hydrocarbons have no multiple covalent bonds. The unsaturated hydrocarbon has at least one multiple covalent bond. Unsaturated hydrocarbons must not have cis/trans isomers O Unsaturated hydrocarbons must have at least two atoms joined by bonds that can rotatearrow_forward
