Answer:

alkenes and alkynes are considered as unsaturated hydrocarbons because they are capable of reacting with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to form a saturated hydrocarbon (alkanes)

Explanation:

A saturated compound contains a chain of carbon atoms joined by single bonds, with hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom.  

Propane for example, CH₃-CH₂-CH₃.  

It is saturated because all the carbon atoms holds maximum number of hydrogen atoms.  

Alkenes such as Propene (CH₂=CH-CH₃) and alkynes like Propyne,

(CH₃-C≡C-H) are unsaturated because the central carbon atoms contain less number of hydrogen atoms than they possibly could.

Which is a true statement?
labwork [276]

Answer: B) Particles can be filtered from a suspension.

Explanation: Colloids are solutions with particle size intermediate between true solutions and suspensions. They exhibit tyndall effect that is scattering of light.

Suspensions have large sized particles which settle when left undisturbed for sometime and thus can be filtered off easily.

The particle size in colloids is less and hence they do not settle under the effect of gravity.

A solution can be homogeneous in which the composition is uniform or heterogeneous in which is the composition is not uniform.
