A type of hydrocarbon that contains carbon atoms connected only by a single bond is called saturated hydrocarbon. It is the simplest form of the hydrocarbon species.
These are unsaturated organic compounds.
Hydrocarbons containing chlorine atoms are called chlorinated hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons containing fluorine atoms are called fluorinated hydrocarbons. eg> CHCl3, CHF3 etc
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.
Carbon and Hydrogen Atoms
Unsaturated carbon compound contain C=C. They can undergo addition reaction.
the solubility of the hydrocarbons decrease because as the number of carbons increase the electron density of the electronegative element i.e.oxygen increase and the polarity of o-H bond decrease . Thus the capability of hydrocarbon to form hydrogen bond decrease and its solubility decrease
Hydrocarbons are molecules consisting of/containing only atoms of carbon and hydrogen. There are many different kinds of hydrocarbons based on different numbers of carbon atoms in the molecules and whether or not any of the carbons are connected by double bonds rather than single bonds.
There are carbon and hydrogen atoms present in hydrocarbons.
Alkanes have carbon atoms bonded by single bonds, and follow the formula CnH2n+2. Alkenes on the other hand always have one double bond somewhere between a pair of carbon atoms, explaining why they follw the general formula CnH2n.
