A saturated hydrocarbon is an organic compound which contains hydrogen and carbon joined?
The bond is covalent; the meaning of saturated is a single bond between carbon atoms (C-C).
What are saturated Hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have every possible bonding site on the carbon backbone that could bond to a hydrogen bonded to a hydrogen. All carbon-carbon bonds are single. These hydrocarbons are rigid and have high melting temperatures. Lard, Crisco, Butter, and Margarine are saturated.Unsaturated hydrocarbons don't and therefor contain one or more double or triple carbon-carbon bond(s). These hydrocarbons are "floppy" and have lower melting temperatures. Cooking and Salad oils are unsaturated.
How did you mean by saturated hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
Are alkenes hydrocarbons?
Yes, since hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, and alkenes fit this description. More specifically, alkenes contain at least one C to C double bond (but no triple bonds) and their general formula is CnH2n+2
What are the characteristic of aromatic hydrocarbons?
Principal characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons are:- the contain benzenic rings- frequently they have an agreeable odor- they burn with soot; this is a disadvantage- the ratio carbon/hydrogen is great
What is the name given to the series of hydrocarbons containing only single carbon to carbon bonds?
These are called saturated hydrocarbons.
What are Hydrocarbons containing only single-bonded carbon atoms called?
Saturated hydrocarbons
Why do saturated aliphatic compounds have single bonds?
Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons have only single bonds and all non carbon to carbon bonding sites are taken up by hydrogen ions. The formula for this is Cn-H2n+2
Why is propane considered a saturated hydrocarbon?
Propane is an alkane and as such, contains only single covalent bonds, so it is considered saturated because each of its carbon atoms is single bonded with a hydrogen atom or another carbon atom.
What type of bonds do alkanes contain?
single only- apex
Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?
All alkanes have single bonds.They consist of single bonds.
Is ethene gas a single bond?
No, ethylene (ethene) has a carbon-carbon double bond, in addition to four other single bonds between carbon and hydrogen.
