Alkenes (C=C) are known to be _ hydrocarbon
Correct answer: B. Unsaturated
- A. Saturated
- B. Unsaturated
- C. Super Saturated
- D. Super unsaturated
Explanation
Alkenes are classified as unsaturated hydrocarbons because they contain double bonds between carbon atoms. This distinguishes them from saturated hydrocarbons like alkanes, which only have single bonds. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the nature of alkenes.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
