because it contains two double bonds, therefore there is space for more atoms to be bonded to the molecule.

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

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.


How can you tell whether a compound reacts with bromine?

You can test if a compound reacts with bromine by adding bromine water to the compound. If the compound reacts with bromine, the characteristic reddish-brown color of the bromine water will fade as it reacts with the compound. This reaction is often used to test for the presence of unsaturated bonds in organic compounds.


What are two products formed when lavandulol is burnt in excess oxygen?

Carbon Dioxide & Water, Complete burning with excess of oxygen gives out Carbon Dioxide(CO2) + Water , While incomplete burning with limited amount of oxygen gives out Carbon monoxide (CO) + Water


What is seen when bromine water is shaken with an unsaturated fat?

If bromine water is shaken with an unsaturated fat, the initially orange bromine water will change color to colorless. This is because unsaturated fats can undergo addition reactions with bromine, breaking the double bonds and forming bromoalkanes.


Does unsaturated air expand or compress?

Unsaturated air typically expands when it rises in the atmosphere due to the decrease in pressure. Conversely, unsaturated air tends to compress when it descends to lower altitudes where the pressure increases.

Is aniline an unsaturated compound or saturated compound?

Aniline is an unsaturated compound as it contains a benzene ring, which is a form of unsaturation due to the delocalized pi electron system.

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.


What is the structure of cyclohexene Is the compound saturated or unsaturated Explain?

Cyclohexene is an unsaturated molecule because contain a double bond and has a ring structure.


What is unsaturated?

This is an organic compound having double or triple bond between carbon atoms.


Why unsaturated compounds decolourises bromine water?

Unsaturated compounds decolorize bromine water because the double bonds in the unsaturated compounds react with bromine molecules, breaking the pi bond and forming a colorless compound. This reaction causes the bromine color to fade, indicating the presence of unsaturation in the compound.
