SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 42

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. . Compounds of carbon having double bonds or triple bonds between their carbon atoms are called unsaturated compounds.

• The Two major unsaturated hydrocarbons are ethene (C2H4) and ethyne (C2H2) because ethyne consists of a triple bond and ethene consists of a double bond between the two carbon atoms.
• The hydrocarbons that consist of only single bonds are referred to as saturated hydrocarbons because every carbon atom is bonded to the maximum number of atoms possible, is that you cannot add another atom to it without replacing the existing one.
