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 class includes an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a ring structure?
The answer is: AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS. Hope that answered your question.=)
Are hydrocarbons in the carboxyl group?
This wording of this question sounds like you may be confused. In the term "carboxyl group", group refers to a specific group of atoms (COOH), not to a group of similar types of compounds. Since hydrocarbons by definition contain only carbon and hydrogen, a hydrocarbon cannot contain a carboxyl group.
The unsaturated zone above the water table is also known as?
The unsaturated zone is also known as Zone of Aeration.
Eating fats may lower your bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol thus decreasing your risk of developing heart disease?
unsaturated fats
What is the definition of Fendi?
There is no real definition for Fendi because Fendi is a designer label. Fendi was first established in Italy. Karl Lagerfeld is the creative director. This multinational luxury goods brand is owned by LVMH.
What are the three categories of unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are alkenes and alkynes.
Are lycopene and b-carotene hydrocarbons?
Yes, they are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
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...
Which has high carbon content saturaterd or unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Both the saturated and the unsaturated
What are the uses of unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Used as a POLYMERS.
How can saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons be differentiated on the basis of combustion?
Saturated hydrocarbons sometimes burn with smoky flame upon combustion while unsaturated hydrocarbons always burn with non-smoky or blue flame. This is on account of the reason that for the same number of carbon atoms in their molecular formula, saturated hydrocarbons have more number of hydrogen atoms as compared to unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Are cyclic hydrocarbon unsaturated?
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
How can a potassium permanganate test to distinguish saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?
saturated decolourises alkyl kmno4 but unsaturated does not. due to substituition reaction by saturated solution
Is 3-ethyl 2-methyl 1-pentene unsaturated?
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.
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).
Do alkene burn with a non smoky flame?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons burn wih a luminous smoky flame. (unsaturated hydrocarbons are simply carbons with multiple bonds. they are known as unsaturated because they do not have the maximum amount of hydrogens attached as possible with the amount of given carbons.)
