Is the saturation of benzene the same to the other unsaturated hydro carbons?

Answer 1

As posed, the question makes no sense on several levels. Benzene is not saturated although it is far less reactive than would be expected for an unsaturated compound due to delocalisation of the electrons. I am unsure what you mean by asking if saturation and "unsaturation" are the same.

Answer 2

No, benzene does not show the typical reactions of unsaturated compounds because it is an Aromatic compound which is neither saturated nor unsaturated.

Benzene molecule has a pi electronic cloud so mostly undergoes the substitution reactions.

Answer 3

Benzene (cyclo-C6H6) acts like a saturated compound because it is almost as stable to catalysed addition of (and unwillingly to react with) water H2O, as it were already 'saturated' like cyclo-C6H12.

It acts like a unsaturated compound because it undergoes addition reaction with hydrogen

H2 to form the fully saturated cyclo-C6H12

Answer 4

No, the saturation of benzene is unique compared to other unsaturated hydrocarbons. Benzene is considered to be "aromatic," which has a more stable structure due to delocalized pi electrons. In contrast, other unsaturated hydrocarbons like alkenes and alkynes are considered "alkenes." Benzene's unique structure gives it different chemical properties compared to other unsaturated hydrocarbons.
