Kerosene or Kerosine is neither. It neither belongs under the Aliphatic or Aromatic branch of Organic chemistry. It's a different branch of Chemistry called Hydrocarbon Derivatives (which contain other organic compounds such as alcohol, ethers and amides). Kerosine fits under a different branch of organic chemistry.
Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds in organic chemistry that consist of carbon and hydrogen and are non-aromatic.

∙ 14y agoKerosene is an organic compound. It is refined from petrol and is also known as paraffin It is an organic hydrocarbon containing only carbon and hydrogen. It is a mix of carbon chains from the fractional distillation process and can contain mixtures of C6 chains all the way up to around C18 chains.

What is actively unsaturated hydrocarbon?
Hydrocarbon is a compound. Unsaturated hydrocarbon refers to the hydrocarbon containing at the least, a double or triple bond. Acetic acid is an example of a hydrocarbon.
Disaccharide differ from each other in what ways?
differ by the length of the hydrocarbon chain, and if its saturated or unsaturated.
What is the difference between saturated zone and unsaturated zone?
Something is saturated when every available space is filled with liquid, and something is unsaturated when some or all of the spaces inside the contain air.
Is an aldehyde saturated or unsaturated?
Alkanes have single bonds only and are therefore saturated. A hydrocarbon is unsaturated if there are multiple bonds or rings within the compound. Alkenes contain double bonds, alkynes contain triple bonds, and cycloalkanes contain rings; these are unsaturated hydrocarbons. But alkanes are saturated.
Is octane a saturate carbon?
Octane is any hydrocarbon made of 8 carbons, it can be saturated, unsaturated, branched, cyclic, etc.
What is the different between saturated and unsaturated?
Saturated hydrocarbon does not decolourise bromine water while unsaturated hydrocarbon decolourize it.
Does c6h14 have a double bond?
No, when it is a cyclo-hydrocarbon, Yes when it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon (decene)
Are cyclic hydrocarbon unsaturated?
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
Is saturated hydrocarbon ionic?
No one hydrocarbon is ionic, saturated , unsaturated and aromatic all hydrocarbons are covalent compounds.
A Hydrocarbon in which all of the carbon atoms are joined to other carbon atoms by single covalent bonds are a saturated unsaturated aromatic or substituted hydrocarbon?
such a hydrocarbon is a saturated compound.
What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?
A saturated hydrocarbon is one where all the carbon atoms are bonded to four other atoms. An unsaturated hydrocarbon is one where some of the carbon atoms aren't (an example being an alkene due to the carbon carbon double bond).
How are unsaturated hydrocarbon converted into saturated hydrocarbon?
Through hydrogenation in the presence of the catalyst Pt/Pd/Ni .
What is actively unsaturated hydrocarbon?
Hydrocarbon is a compound. Unsaturated hydrocarbon refers to the hydrocarbon containing at the least, a double or triple bond. Acetic acid is an example of a hydrocarbon.
How are unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbon different?
Saturated hydrocarbon cannot bond with compounds anymore, where as unsaturated hydrocarbons can bond, as they contain double or triple bonds. When they bond, the double and triple bonds break and new separate single bonds are formed with hydrogens or any other external compounds.
Disaccharide differ from each other in what ways?
differ by the length of the hydrocarbon chain, and if its saturated or unsaturated.
Is hex-1-ene saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon?
Methylbenzene (toluene) is a cyclic hydrocarbon based on the benzene ring (C6H6) with a methyl group (CH3) replacing one of the hydrogens to give C7H8. The benzene ring itself is a rather special kind of hydrocarbon, but is considered to be unsaturated - Therefore, toluene is unsaturated. The saturated equivalent of benzene is cyclohexane (C6H12). The saturated equivalent of toluene is methylcyclohexane, C7H14.
Why is ethene regarded as unsaturated hydrocarbon?
As ethene contains double bond it is considered as unsaturated hydrocarbon. Note-hydrocarbon is said to saturated when it contain C-C single bond and hydrocarbon is said to unsaturated when it has carbon carbon double or triple bonds
