Question

Give a test that can be used to differentiate between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Assertion (A): Saturated hydrocarbons burn with a blue flame. Reason (R): Saturated hydrocarbons contain less carbon content, so there is a complete combustion of these compounds.

Assertion (A): Benzene is a cyclic saturated hydrocarbon. Reason (R): Carbon compounds in which carbon atoms are arranged in the form of a ring are called cyclic carbon compounds.

a) Identify the Hydrocarbon and write its name and molecular formula b) Draw its bond structure. c) Is it saturated or unsaturated compound? Justify.
