Concept introduction:
Hydrocarbons are the organic compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. Hydrocarbons are classified into two groups, saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Answer to Problem 12.1E
Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain either double bond or triple bond between the adjacent carbon atoms. They contain high percentage of carbon.
Explanation of Solution
In unsaturated hydrocarbons, there is either double bond or triple bond present between the adjacent carbon atoms. They contain high percentage of carbon. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are further classified into
The adjacent carbon atoms in alkene are connected through a double bond while the adjacent carbon atoms in alkyne are connected through a triple bond. The general molecular formula for alkene and alkyne is
Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain either double bond or triple bond between the adjacent carbon atoms. They contain high percentage of carbon.
