1
Q
What are saturated compounds?
A
Compounds that only have C-C bonds
2
Q
What are unsaturated compounds?
A
Compounds that have at least one C=C bond
3
Q
What is an isomer?
A
Compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formula.
4
Q
How do you distinguish the difference between saturated and unsaturated compounds?
A
By using the bromine solution. Unsaturated compounds quickly decolourise the bromine solution.
5
Q
What happens in an addition reaction.
