Classify each of the following hydrocarbons as saturated or unsaturated.
- a. CH3—CH2—CH3
- b. CH3—CH=CH2
- c. CH3—C≡CH
- d. CH3—CH=CH—CH3
(a)

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,
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.
The given hydrocarbon is a saturated hydrocarbon.
(b)

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,
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.
The given hydrocarbon is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
(c)

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.
