Question

Draw the structures of one each of a saturated and unsaturated Carbon compounds.

Answer 1

Part: 1

1. A Saturated hydrocarbon is one in which the compounds contain only single bonds between all the Carbon atoms present in its molecule.
2. Example: Ethane ${\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{3}}\mathbf{C}\mathbf{-}{\mathbf{CH}}_{\mathbf{3}}$
3. The structure of Ethane is shown as
   

Part: 2

1. Compounds that contain only double or triple bonds between any two adjacent Carbon atoms are called unsaturated hydrocarbons.
2. Example: Ethene ${\mathbf{H}}_2\mathbf{C}\mathbf{=}{\mathbf{CH}}_2$
3. The structure of Ethene is shown as
