How many multiple bonds must a hydrocarbon have in order to be classified as unsaturated?
The number of multiple bonds possess by a hydrocarbon in order to be classified as unsaturated.
Answer to Problem 7RQ
The hydrocarbon must have either one double or triple bond in order to be called an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Explanation of Solution
In saturated hydrocarbons, there is only a single bond between the carbon and hydrogen atoms. There is no multiple bond present amongst them.While in unsaturated hydrocarbons there are multiple bonds between two carbon atoms.
Alkene containing double bond or alkynes containing triple bond are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the hydrocarbon must have either one double or triple bond in order to be called an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
