Interpretation: Difference between Saturated and
Concept Introduction: Compounds of Carbon and Hydrogen are called Hydrocarbons.
Answer to Problem 16LC
The main difference between the two depends upon the type of bonds they contain. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons are more reactive as it contains at least one or more double or triple carbon-carbon bonds as compared to saturated hydrocarbons, which contain only single covalent bonds.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: Saturated and unsaturated are the types of hydrocarbons.
Saturated Hydrocarbons have a single bond between carbon-carbon atoms whereas unsaturated hydrocarbons have double or triple bonds.
Saturated burns with a blue flame and unsaturated with a sooty flame.
Substitution reaction occurs in saturated and addition reaction occurs in unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Highly reactive are unsaturated, on the other hand, saturated hydrocarbons are less reactive.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are more reactive as compared to saturated hydrocarbons.
