∙ 14y agoWell if your referring to saturated/unsaturated hydrocarbons then.....
Saturated means that there are ONLY carbon-carbon single bonds
Unsaturated means there are at least one carbon-carbon double bond
Saturated substances are: less reactive (as it only has single bonds), stronger dispersion forces, thus higher melting points then unsaturated substances---but still quite low.
Unsaturated substances: more reactive (double bond(s)), have weaker dispersion forces (than saturated) because the single and double carbon-carbon bonds cannot "pack"/"bind" together nicely as compared to all single bonds. Weaker dispersion forces results in a v.weak melting point

∙ 10y agoSaturated is a term commonly used in chemistry. Essentially, it is referring to a substance in which the atoms are linked by single bonds.

∙ 8y agoIf all covalent bonds are single then the molecule is saturated. e.g. an alkane

∙ 13y agoa state when solute and solvent are completely miscible

∙ 12y agoNo double bonds.
Double bonds look like this: C=C
Single bonds look like this: C-C
Note: the C is an example, any element can replace it.

A saturated solution.
A solution that is not able to absorb any more solute or solvent
A graph can illustrate what solution is saturated and unsaturated. If the point is on the line, then the solution is saturated, while if is below the line, the solution is unsaturated.
A saturated solution is made when you have added so much solute that no more dissolves. The amount of solute needed to make a saturated solution will change with the temperature of the solution.
If more solute is added to the solution and the solute remains undissolved, then you know that solution is saturated.
In science, saturated usually refers to a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent, resulting in a state of equilibrium. It can also refer to a compound that contains only single bonds between carbon atoms, maximizing the number of hydrogen atoms attached.
a saturated solution is a one in which no more solute can be dissolved at that temperature.

A solution that is not able to absorb any more solute or solvent
A graph can illustrate what solution is saturated and unsaturated. If the point is on the line, then the solution is saturated, while if is below the line, the solution is unsaturated.
A Saturated Solution can no longer hold any more solute in solution.
i believe you mean a saturated solution
A saturated solution is made when you have added so much solute that no more dissolves. The amount of solute needed to make a saturated solution will change with the temperature of the solution.
A saturated solution is one that can dissolve no more of the solute at a given temperature and pressure. This means that the maximum amount of solute has been dissolved in the solvent, and any additional solute will not dissolve and will instead form a precipitate.
A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. At this point, any additional solute added will not dissolve and will instead settle at the bottom.
