A compound with only single carbon-carbon bonds.

18
Q

What is an unsaturated compound?

A

A compound containing C=C, double carbon=carbon bonds.

19
Q

What type of compounds can undergo addition reactions?

A

Unsaturated compounds

20
Q

What is an addition reaction?

A

Two molecules combine to form a single molecule.

21
Q

How do you use bromine solution to test for saturation?

A

Unsaturated compounds decolourise bromine solution whereas saturated compounds do not - as unsaturated compounds undergo an addition reaction with bromine.
