which compound is an unsaturated hydrocarbon

Sagot :

triple bonds, Ethene, and benzene ;)
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are those in which each carbon atom is attached to as many hydrogen atoms as it possibly can. There can be no double bonds or non-hydrogen functional groups, since these detract from the maximum possible number of hydrogens that each carbon can be attached to (in the case of double bonds, two carbons are bonded to each other when they could alternately be bonded to one more hydrogen each). All of the alkanes (including the cycloalkanes) are saturated hydrocarbons. Substituted alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and their cyclic counterparts are all unsaturated.
