What is the definition of hydocarbon?
In organic chemistry, a hydrocarbon is a compound consisting of only carbon and hydrogen atoms. There are different types of hydrocarbons, such as saturated hydrocarbons, which include alkanes (e.g.- methane), unsaturated hydrocarbons, which include alkenes and alkynes (e.g.- ethylene and ethyne), cycloalkanes (e.g. - cyclopropane), and arenes, also known as aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. - benzene).
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.
