Question

What are saturated and unsaturated organic compouds ? Give example. 

Answer

Saturated organic compounds are molecules that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms. Examples of saturated organic compounds include alkanes like methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), and propane (C₃H₈).

Unsaturated organic compounds are molecules that contain one or more double or triple bonds between carbon atoms. Examples of unsaturated organic compounds include alkenes like ethene (C₂H₄), propene (C₃H₆), and butene (C₄H₈), as well as alkynes like ethyne (C₂H₂) and propyne (C₃H₄).
