Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons which contain one or more double carbon bonds in the chemical structure. They can become saturated hydrocarbons in the event of chemical reactions which change the structure to have only single carbon bonds - for example this occurs to an extent when unsatured cooking oil becomes saturated during cooking and becomes more solid, saturated in content.
What else can I help you with?
A hydrocarbon that has one or more double or triple bonds is what?
at least a double bond is an alkene at least a triple bond is an alkyne i believe...
Example of unsaturated hydrocarbon?
An example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon is ethene (C2H4), which contains a double bond between two carbon atoms. This double bond leads to fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbons compared to saturated hydrocarbons like ethane (C2H6).
Which piece of information do you need to determine whether a hydrocarbon is saturated or unsaturated?
The type of C-C bonds in the molecule
How many multiple bonds must a hydrocarbon have in order to be classified as unsaturated?
A hydrocarbon must have at least one multiple bond (double or triple bond) to be classified as unsaturated. This bond gap allows the hydrocarbon to form additional bonds, making it more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons.
Is C12H22 saturated or unsaturated?
The basis for its saturation is a hydrocarbon with the general formula:- CnH2n+2 If a compound does not satisfy this, then it is unsaturated. Thus here 'n' = 12 Thus with 12 Carbon atoms present in the molecule, to be saturated, would need 26 Hydrogen atoms (C12H26). C12H22 is therefore unsaturated and will have 4 Carbon to Carbon double bonds in it.
What is the different between saturated and unsaturated?
Saturated hydrocarbon does not decolourise bromine water while unsaturated hydrocarbon decolourize it.
When a hydrocarbon is bent it is called?
unsaturated
Is methyl an unsaturated hydrocarbon?
No, methyl is not an unsaturated hydrocarbon. It is a saturated hydrocarbon because it contains only single bonds between carbon atoms. Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain double or triple bonds between carbon atoms.

Are cyclic hydrocarbon unsaturated?
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
What is the term for an unsaturated hydrocarbon?
These compounds are alkenes and alkynes.
What is actively unsaturated hydrocarbon?
An actively unsaturated hydrocarbon is a compound that contains double or triple bonds between carbon atoms, making it reactive and prone to undergo addition reactions. These compounds are commonly involved in organic reactions due to their high reactivity.
How are unsaturated hydrocarbon converted into saturated hydrocarbon?
Through hydrogenation in the presence of the catalyst Pt/Pd/Ni .
What structural feature causes a hydrocarbon to be unsaturated?
When one carbon in the hydrocarbon molecule has formed a double (or triple) bond with an adjacent carbon.
Example of unsaturated hydrocarbon?
An example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon is ethene (C2H4), which contains a double bond between two carbon atoms. This double bond leads to fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbons compared to saturated hydrocarbons like ethane (C2H6).

Which class includes an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a ring structure?
The class of aromatic hydrocarbons
