Organic compounds in which tetravalency of carbon atom is fully satisfied, are called:
Correct answer: A. Saturated
- A. Saturated
- B. Unsaturated
- C. Alkenes
- D. Alkynes
Explanation
Organic compounds in which tetravalency of carbon atom is fully satisfied are called saturated compounds. This means that each carbon atom in the compound has four bonds, either with other carbon atoms or with atoms of other elements.Saturated compounds are the most common type of organic compound. They are found in a wide variety of natural and synthetic products, including fats.Here are some examples of saturated compounds:Methane (CH4): The carbon atom in methane is bonded to four hydrogen atoms.Ethane (C2H6): The carbon atoms in ethane are bonded to each other and to two hydrogen atoms each.Propane (C3H8): The carbon atoms in propane are bonded to each other and to three hydrogen atoms each.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
