No, they are unsaturated as they contain double bonds

∙ 13y agoAlkenes by definition are unsaturated because they contain at least one double bond, Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons because they contain only single bonds.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoalkenes are unsaturated as they can make more bonds alkanes are saturated as they have made all the bonds possible
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoyes , alkenes are unsaturated because of the presence of double bond between the atoms of carbon.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agothey are unsaturated for they have a double carbon to carbon bond (C=C) leaving room for another hydrogen.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoAlkanes are saturated hydrocarbons since there are only single bonds bonding the carbons to hydrogens and other carbons..
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoAlkenes are unsaturated organic compounds; they contain minimum a double bond between carbon atoms.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAlkenes are unsaturated. The double bond(s) between carbon atoms means they cannot bond with the maximum number of hydrogens.

Are cycloalkenes unsaturated?
Yes, alkenes along with cycloalkenes are unsaturated, however, alkanes and cycloalkanes are saturated
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.
Why are aromatic compounds saturated?
Because, In alkenes&alkynes,there exists atleast One double bond(pi bond) which is relatively weaker than sigma bond(There are no pi bonds in alkanes.Hence they are saturated).Hence they are unsaturated.
What are the three categories of unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are alkenes and alkynes.
What is alkanes and alkenes?
The difference between an alkane and an alkene is that: Alkanes have only single bonds between carbon atoms and are said to be saturated: when put in bromine water, the bromine water stays orange - formula: CnH2n+2; Alkenes: have one or more double bond(s) between carbon atoms and are unsaturated: when put in bromine water, the bromine water turns clear - formula: CnH2n.
Is an alkene a saturated or a unsaturated fat?
Alkenes are unsaturated because they contain a double bond.
Are cycloalkenes unsaturated?
Yes, alkenes along with cycloalkenes are unsaturated, however, alkanes and cycloalkanes are saturated
What is the difference of alkanes and alkenes?
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with atleast one carbon-carbon double bond.
How can a potassium permanganate test to distinguish saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?
saturated decolourises alkyl kmno4 but unsaturated does not. due to substituition reaction by saturated solution
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.
What unsaturated fat do?
alkenes
What do unsaturated fats form?
alkenes
Why are aromatic compounds saturated?
Because, In alkenes&alkynes,there exists atleast One double bond(pi bond) which is relatively weaker than sigma bond(There are no pi bonds in alkanes.Hence they are saturated).Hence they are unsaturated.
What are the three categories of unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are alkenes and alkynes.
Alkenes are unsaturated why?
Alkenes are considered unsaturated because of the presence of a double bond between two or more carbons. A hydrocarbon is only saturated when there are only single bonded carbons present (Alkanes).
Is aniline an unsaturated compound or saturated compound?
unsaturated
Is the air in the room saturated or unsaturated?
If it is humid it is saturated. If it is dry it is unsaturated.
