Best Answer

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.
