Yes, a methyl group could be classified as an unsaturated hydrocarbon because it has one carbon bond available that is not attached to a hydrogen.

Is xylene saturated or unsaturated?

Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and is considered unsaturated due to its presence of a benzene ring, which contains alternating double bonds. The chemical structure of xylene (C8H10) includes two methyl groups attached to a benzene ring, contributing to its unsaturated nature. Therefore, xylene does not have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms that a saturated hydrocarbon would have.

How do you indicate that a methyl group is attached to the second carbon atom in a hydrocarbon?

To indicate that a methyl group is attached to the second carbon atom in a hydrocarbon, you use the IUPAC naming system. You would name the base hydrocarbon chain and then use a locant (number) to specify the position of the methyl group. For example, if the base hydrocarbon is butane and a methyl group is attached to the second carbon, it would be named 2-methylbutane. The number "2" indicates the position of the carbon to which the methyl group is attached.


How are unsaturated hydrocarbon converted into saturated hydrocarbon?

Is hex-1-ene saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon?

Methylbenzene (toluene) is a cyclic hydrocarbon based on the benzene ring (C6H6) with a methyl group (CH3) replacing one of the hydrogens to give C7H8. The benzene ring itself is a rather special kind of hydrocarbon, but is considered to be unsaturated - Therefore, toluene is unsaturated. The saturated equivalent of benzene is cyclohexane (C6H12). The saturated equivalent of toluene is methylcyclohexane, C7H14.
