If the carbon atom of hydrocarbon is bonded to less than 4 other atoms, the hydrocarbon is considered _______.
2 answers:
Answer : The correct option is, (D) unsaturated
Explanation :
As the organic compounds are classified into two categories which are acyclic (aliphatic) and cyclic (aromatic) compounds.
Acyclic compounds are also classified into two categories which are saturated and unsaturated compounds.
Saturated hydrocarbon : These are the compounds which containing single bonds between the carbon-carbon atoms. In saturated compounds, there are more number of hydrogen bonded with the carbon atom.
Unsaturated hydrocarbon : These are the compounds which containing double and triple bonds between the carbon-carbon atoms. In unsaturated compounds, there are less number of hydrogen bonded with the carbon atom.
Aromatic : Aromatic compounds are the type of an unsaturated compounds but it is not necessary that the unsaturated compounds are aromatic. It is a compound which containing the electrons and all the
electrons are in conjugation.
Hence, if the carbon atom of hydrocarbon is bonded to less than 4 other atoms, the hydrocarbon is considered as unsaturated.

<u>Answer:</u> The net ionic equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.
Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.
The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium iodide and chromium (III) sulfate is given as:
Ionic form of the above equation follows:
As, chromium and iodide ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.
The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:
Hence, the net ionic equation is written above.
