- 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.

Are alcohols saturated hydrocarbons?
Yes
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
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.
Is the decolorization of bromine more rapid with saturated or unsaturated?
Bromine decolorize saturated hydrocarbons.
Is saturated hydrocarbon ionic?
No one hydrocarbon is ionic, saturated , unsaturated and aromatic all hydrocarbons are covalent compounds.
How did you mean by saturated hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
What distinguishing characteristic is common in the name of saturated hydrocarbons?
what distinguishing characteristic is common in the names of saturated hydrocarbons?
Are alcohols saturated hydrocarbons?
Yes
Which alkanes compounds are saturated hydrocarbons?
All non-cyclic alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons of the general formula: CnH(2n+2)
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
Do Saturated hydrocarbons Contain only single bond?
Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds, such as hexane. Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain either double or triple bonds, such as hexene and hexyne.
The names of saturated hydrocarbons end in what?
-ane
What are Hydrocarbons containing only single-bonded carbon atoms called?
Saturated hydrocarbons
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.
Is the decolorization of bromine more rapid with saturated or unsaturated?
