Q

unsaturated compound

A

An organic compound that contains a double or triple carbon-carbon bond.

This is because they have fewer hydrogens than would otherwise be allowed.

Q

geometric isomers

A

differ only in the geometric relationship of their substituted groups (branches/continued chains)

In saturated compounds bonds with the double/triple bond can only be so far apart until it breaks, allowing more predictable structure
