(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the structure of eicosane is saturated or unsaturated is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
A saturated compound is defined as a compound in which a carbon chain consists of carbon atoms linked with a single bond. An unsaturated compound is a compound in which a carbon chain is linked with carbon atoms bonded by double or triple bonds.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the structure of dodecene is saturated or unsaturated is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
A saturated compound is defined as a compound in which a carbon chain consists of carbon atoms linked with a single bond. An unsaturated compound is a compound in which a carbon chain is linked with carbon atoms bonded by double or triple bonds.
