Saturated and
Concept introduction:
Compounds that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms are said to be hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons can be saturated or unsaturated classified on the basis of the type of bond present in the compound.
Explanation of Solution
The hydrocarbon compounds that contains single bond(s) between carbon atom(s) are said to be saturated hydrocarbon whereashydrocarbon compounds that containsmultiple bond(s) between carbon atom(s) are said to be unsaturated hydrocarbon. Compounds containing single bonds are said to be
For example:
Since, the compound contains only single bonds so, it is an alkane (saturated hydrocarbon).
Since, the compound contains double bond between two carbon atoms so, it is an alkene (unsaturated hydrocarbon).
Since, the compound contains triple bond between two carbon atoms so, it is an alkyne (unsaturated hydrocarbon).
