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.

Pressure can be defined as the force acting on a perpendicular surface per unit area.
Force exerted by a man of mass 100 kg wearing snow shoes = m.a
Where m = mass of the man = 100 kg
a = acceleration due to gravity= 9.8
Force exerted by the man of mass 100 kg =
Force exerted by woman of mass 60 kg =
Force exerted by 100 kg man is greater than that exerted as 60 kg woman. The area on which this force is acting determines the pressure. Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which the force acts. Therefore, the pressure exerted by 100 kg man wearing snow shoes is less than the pressure exerted by a 60 kg woman woman wearing high heels as the force acts over a larger area when the man wears snow shoes when compared to the force exerted over a smaller area in case of the woman wearing high heels.
