An organic compound burns with a sooty flame is it a saturated or unsaturated compound?

hydrocarbons, in general.


Is p-chlorobenzoic acid saturated?

No. it is an unsaturated (aromatic) compound.


What is the difference in structure between a saturated and an unsaturated compound?

the difference in structure between a saturated and an unsaturated compound is found in their bonds. A Saturated compound contain only one carbon-carbon signle bond. all the four bonds of carbon are fully utilised and no more hydrogen or other atoms can attach to it. Thus, they can undergo only substitution reactions. (aka ALKANES). An Unsaturated Compound contain one double covalent bond between carbon atoms or a triple covalent bond between carbon atoms. the bonds of carbon are not fully utilised by hydrogen atoms, more of these can be attached to them. Thus, they undergo addition reactions as they have two or more hydrogen atoms less than the saturated hydrocarbons


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.


Is cyclohexane a saturated hydrocarbon?

Yes, because all the valencies of carbon atoms are satisfied by sigma bonding and cycloakane does not undergo the addition reactions. However many chemists would say that only alkanes are fully saturated and these have no ring structure and a general formula of CnH2n+2

How is saturated carbon compound different from an unsaturated one?

the difference between saturated and unsaturated compound is that it decolurize kmn and do addition reactions for example CH2=CH2 + br2__________ CH2Br_CH2Br


Why does benzene produce a sootier flame than either cyclohexane or cyclohexene?

It is because the cyclohexene is an unsaturated compound. It contain one or more carbon-carbon double bond in a ring structure and this bonding still can be reduced by adding hydrogen atoms (combustion process). Thus,it will more reactive compare to cyclohexane, a saturated compound that all the carbon atoms within it have been bond with hydrogen atoms. As the result, the cyclohexene will produces a sootier flame than cyclohexane.

What shift occurs when a saturated compound is converted into an unsaturated compound?

It gains a double bond. Unsaturated basically means it has a double bond. from C-C to C=C basically.
