No, they are unsaturated as they contain double bonds
Yes, alkenes along with cycloalkenes are unsaturated, however, alkanes and cycloalkanes are saturated
Alkanes have single bonds only and are therefore saturated. A hydrocarbon is unsaturated if there are multiple bonds or rings within the compound. Alkenes contain double bonds, alkynes contain triple bonds, and cycloalkanes contain rings; these are unsaturated hydrocarbons. But alkanes are saturated.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are alkenes and alkynes.
Cracking breaks down large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller ones. This process can result in the formation of both saturated hydrocarbons (such as alkanes) and unsaturated hydrocarbons (such as alkenes) due to the rearrangement of carbon-carbon bonds. The unsaturated hydrocarbons are formed when carbon-carbon double bonds are created during the cracking process.
Because, In alkenes&alkynes,there exists atleast One double bond(pi bond) which is relatively weaker than sigma bond(There are no pi bonds in alkanes.Hence they are saturated).Hence they are unsaturated.
Alkenes are unsaturated because they contain a double bond.
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with atleast one carbon-carbon double bond.

alkenes
Alkenes are considered unsaturated because of the presence of a double bond between two or more carbons. A hydrocarbon is only saturated when there are only single bonded carbons present (Alkanes).
In the potassium permanganate test, saturated hydrocarbons do not react with the solution, while unsaturated hydrocarbons can reduce the purple color of potassium permanganate to colorless. This is because unsaturated hydrocarbons have double or triple bonds that can be broken to form new bonds with the permanganate ions, reducing them in the process. This color change can be used to distinguish between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.
alkenes
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are alkenes and alkynes.
Proteins are neither saturated nor unsaturated.
the difference is in the backbone... if the backbone is unsaturated then it is an unsaturated polyester, if the backbone is saturated then it is a saturated polyester...
