Interpretation:
The difference in molecular structures of
Concept introduction:
The hydrocarbon compounds contain compound that are made up of only hydrogen and carbon atoms.
Explanation of Solution
The hydrocarbon compounds that contains single bond(s) between carbon atom(s) are said to be saturated hydrocarbon whereas hydrocarbon compounds that contains multiple bond(s) between carbon atom(s) are said to be
For example:
Since, the compound contains only single bonds so, it is an alkane (saturated hydrocarbon).
Since, the compound contains double bond between two carbon atoms so, it is an alkene (unsaturated hydrocarbon).
Since, the compound contains triple bond between two carbon atoms so, it is an alkyne (unsaturated hydrocarbon).
