Alkanes and Cycloalkanes
Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atom…

Chapter 2, Problem 2.1EP

Classify each of the following hydrocarbons as saturated or unsaturated.

  1. a. CH3—CH2—CH3
  2. b. CH3—CH=CH2
  3. c. CH3—C≡CH
  4. d. CH3—CH=CH—CH3

(a)

Expert Solution

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given hydrocarbon has to be classified as saturated hydrocarbon or unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Answer to Problem 2.1EP

The given hydrocarbon is a saturated hydrocarbon.

Explanation of Solution

Given structure of hydrocarbon is,

    CH3−CH2−CH3

Hydrocarbons are the compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms in it.  Unsaturated hydrocarbons have atleast one double bond or triple bond between the carbon atoms in the molecule.  Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds between the carbon atoms.

From the given structure of hydrocarbon, there are no multiple bonds present between the carbon atoms.  Hence, the given hydrocarbon is a saturated hydrocarbon.

Conclusion

The given hydrocarbon is a saturated hydrocarbon.

(b)

Expert Solution

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given hydrocarbon has to be classified as saturated hydrocarbon or unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Answer to Problem 2.1EP

The given hydrocarbon is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Explanation of Solution

Given structure of hydrocarbon is,

    CH3−CH=CH2

Hydrocarbons are the compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms in it.  Unsaturated hydrocarbons have atleast one double bond or triple bond between the carbon atoms in the molecule.  Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds between the carbon atoms.

From the given structure of hydrocarbon, there is one multiple bond (double bond) present between the carbon atoms.  Hence, the given hydrocarbon is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Conclusion

The given hydrocarbon is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given hydrocarbon has to be classified as saturated hydrocarbon or unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Answer to Problem 2.1EP
