there are Saturated and Unsaturated Hydrocarbons, they are hold together by van der Waals forces, all molecules experience intermolecular attractions, although in some cases those attractions are very weak. Long thin molecules can develop bigger temporary dipoles due to electron movement than short fat ones. unsaturated bonds can cause overlapping when are close to each other.

What is meant by unsaturated hydrocarbon?

An unsaturated hydrocarbon is a type of hydrocarbon molecule that contains at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond. This means that the molecule does not have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms bonded to each carbon atom. Examples include alkenes and alkynes.

How many multiple bonds must a hydrocarbon have in order to be classified as unsaturated?

A hydrocarbon must have at least one multiple bond (double or triple bond) to be classified as unsaturated. This bond gap allows the hydrocarbon to form additional bonds, making it more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons.

Does c6h14 have a double bond?

No, C6H14 does not have a double bond. It is an alkane with the chemical formula of hexane. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, meaning they contain only single bonds between carbon atoms.
