Due to the presence of double bonds, alkenes are
Correct answer: B. Unsaturated
- A. Saturated
- B. Unsaturated
- C. Polar
- D. Non polar
Explanation
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons because they contain one or more double bonds, which results in them having fewer hydrogen atoms than the corresponding alkane. This makes Option B, 'Unsaturated', the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because alkenes are not saturated like alkanes (Option A), nor are they polar (Options C and D) due to the presence of double bonds.

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.
