Why Succinic acid is a Saturated compound?

Succinic acid is considered a saturated compound because it contains only single covalent bonds between the carbon atoms in its molecular structure. It does not have any double or triple bonds, which are characteristic of unsaturated compounds.


What is the name of an organic compound that contains carbon hydrogen and at least one triple covalent bond?

An example of an organic compound that contains carbon, hydrogen, and at least one triple covalent bond is acetylene, which has the chemical formula C2H2. Triple covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share three pairs of electrons, resulting in a strong bond between the atoms.


What is multiple covalent bond?

A covalent bond which is either double or triple covalent bond.


The compound 1-butyne contains a single or triple or double bond?

1-butyne contains a triple bond which can be fugured out from the name butYNE. Number one in the front means that the triple bond is between the first and second carbon atom.


How many types of covalent bonds exist in a compound?

There can be multiple types of covalent bonds in a compound depending on the elements involved. Common types include single, double, and triple covalent bonds. These bonds differ in the number of shared electrons between atoms.


Is 111-trichloroethane saturated or unsaturated?

Why are some organic compound known as saturated hydrocarbons?

A saturated hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon which has no double or triple bonds associated with it. In other words, it is a hydrocarbon which contains only single bonds.


Why nitrogen atom does not contain double bond?

A nitrogen atom contains three valence electrons so a nitrogen molecule N2 will form a triple covalent bond.


Which molecules contains a triple covalent bonds?

Nitrogen gas (N2) contains a triple covalent bond between the two nitrogen atoms in the molecule. Carbon monoxide (CO) also contains a triple covalent bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms.


What do they have in common single double and triple covalent bond?

All covalent bonds contain one sigma bond.


Is a covalent bond a double bond?

You misunderstand. A covalent Bond can be a Single covalent bond, A Double Covalent Bond or a Triple Covalent Bond. In each case the electrons are shared , NOT ionised. As an analogy, its a bit like 'linking arms'. The linked arm(electron) remains attached to the parent body(atom), but is linked/interlocked with an arm(electron) attached to the next parent body(atom). Examples Single Covalent bond ; Ethane H3C-CH3 Double Covalent bond ; Ethene H2C=CH2 Triple Covalent bond ; Ethyne HC=CH
