the difference between saturated and unsaturated compound is that it decolurize kmn and do addition reactions

for example

CH2=CH2 + br2__________ CH2Br_CH2Br

What is a unsaturated compound?

An unsaturated organic compound is one which has double or triple bonds in Carbon atoms. When all the bonds are single then the compound is called saturated. In unsaturated compounds the carbon atom will be in sp or sp2 hybridised state and in saturated compounds the carbon will be in sp3 hybridised state. Unsaturated compounds are identified by the reaction with bromine water which is pink in color. The pink color is lost due to addition of Bromine to the multiple bond. Aromatic compounds like benzene also contain double bonds but not considered as unsaturated. They do not give addition reactions under normal conditions.


Is acetone saturated or unsaturated?

Acetone is a saturated compound because it contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms bonded together with single bonds.


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.


Is diamide is saturated compound or unsaturated comound?

Diamide is a saturated compound. Saturated compounds contain only single bonds between carbon atoms and are saturated with hydrogen atoms. Diamide contains two amide functional groups (–CONH2) connected by single bonds.


What determines whether a fat is saturated or unsaturated?

The chemical structure of a fat determines whether it is saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fats have single bonds between carbon atoms, while unsaturated fats have at least one double bond between carbon atoms.

Is vaseline saturated or unsaturated?

Vaseline is composed of saturated hydrocarbons, which means that it does not contain any double bonds between carbon atoms. This makes it a saturated 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

Benzoic acid is unsaturated or saturated compound?

Benzoic acid is unsaturated because it has double- double carbon bonds and due to resonance those bonds can be easily move around , that's what makes benzoic acid unique. All compounds containing a benzene ring are actually unsaturated.
