What type of bonds do alkenes have?
The carbon "skeleton" has one double bond, the rest are single bonds
Is 3-ethyl 2-methyl 1-pentene unsaturated?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that have double or triple bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. Double bonded hydrocarbons are called alkenes & triple bonded hydrocarbons are called alkynes. Since the compound is a pentene, it is an alkene so it would have a double bond between the 1st & 2nd carbon atoms. Therefore it is unsaturated.
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.
What is an alkene?
Apex- A hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond
Why are saturated hydrocarbon generally less reactive than unsaturated hydrocarbons?
due to the presence of double or triple bonds, unsaturated compounds are generally more reactive. saturated compounds do not have double or triple bond and are less reactive.
What is the difference of alkanes and alkenes?
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with atleast one carbon-carbon double bond.
What is the term for an hydrocarbon with that lease 1 double carbon-carbon bond?
An alkene has just one double bond. Otherwise they are known generically as unsaturated hydrocarbons
What chemical contains a carbon double bond?
These are unsaturated organic compounds.
What type of bonds do alkenes have?
The carbon "skeleton" has one double bond, the rest are single bonds

Since the compound is a pentene, it is an alkene so it would have a double bond between the 1st & 2nd carbon atoms. Therefore it is unsaturated.
What is meant by the term unsaturated?
it simply means presence of a double bond more clearly:An unsaturated hydrocarbon has fewer than the maximum possible number of hydrocarbons, due to the presence of carbon-carbon double bonds at some point in the chain. (Since a carbon can only have 4 bonds total, a double bond uses 2 instead of 1, reducing the bonds available to hold hydrogen atoms.) Unsaturated hydrocarbons can have only one double bond (mono-unsaturated) or can have many

What foods contain fats that would have at least one double bond in their carbon skeleton?
Peanut oil, a plant product, is an unsaturated fat, which means it contains at least one double bond.
Are alkenes saturated or unsaturated?
No, they are unsaturated as they contain double bonds
How is a double bond depicted?
A double bond is depicted like this : C=C. This would be a carbon-carbon double bond.
Why are saturated hydrocarbon generally less reactive than unsaturated hydrocarbons?
due to the presence of double or triple bonds, unsaturated compounds are generally more reactive. saturated compounds do not have double or triple bond and are less reactive.
