Compounds in which there are no multiple bonds between carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chains

Question 3

What is a n unsaturated compound

Answer 3

Compounds with one or more multiple bonds between carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chains

Question 4

What is a function group

Answer 4

Is a bond an atom or a group of atoms that determines the physical and chemical properties of a group of organic compounds

Question 5
