Identify the correct statement with respect to unsaturated hydrocarbons.

The correct answer is Compounds of carbon having double bonds or triple bonds between their carbon atoms are called unsaturated compounds.Key Points

• Compounds of carbon having double bonds or triple bonds between their carbon atoms are called unsaturated compounds.
• The term "unsaturated" means more hydrogen atoms may be added to the hydrocarbon to make it saturated (i.e. consisting of all single bonds).
• The example of the unsaturated compound is alkenes and alkynes, as well as branched chains and aromatic compounds.
• Saturated hydrocarbons have the molecular formula C_nH_2n+2, where n refers to the number of carbon atoms, and can be any natural number.
  • For example ethane

Additional Information

• Alkane - acyclic saturated hydrocarbon.
  • Alkane consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a tree structure in which all the carbon-carbon bonds are single.
• Alkene - any hydrocarbon containing one or more double bonds.
  • Alkenes unsaturated compounds
• Alkyne - any hydrocarbon containing one or more triple bonds.
  • Alkenes unsaturated compounds
