  2. Saturated and unsaturated compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturated_and_unsaturated...

    alkene (unsaturated) vs alkane (saturated) alkyne (unsaturated) vs alkane (saturated) arene (unsaturated) vs cycloalkane (saturated) For organic compounds containing heteroatoms (other than C and H), the list of unsaturated groups is long but some common types are: carbonyl, e.g. ketones, aldehydes, esters, carboxylic acids (unsaturated) vs ...

  3. Saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation

    Saturated fat or saturated fatty acid; Unsaturated fat or unsaturated fatty acid; Non-susceptibility of an organometallic compound to oxidative addition; Saturation of protein binding sites; Saturation of enzymes with a substrate; Saturation of a solute in a solution, as related to the solute's maximum solubility at equilibrium

  4. Aliphatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliphatic_compound

    Aliphatic compounds can be saturated, joined by single bonds (), or unsaturated, with double bonds or triple bonds ().If other elements (heteroatoms) are bound to the carbon chain, the most common being oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and chlorine, it is no longer a hydrocarbon, and therefore no longer an aliphatic compound.

  5. Supersaturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersaturation

    A solution of a chemical compound in a liquid will become supersaturated when the temperature of the saturated solution is changed. In most cases solubility decreases with decreasing temperature; in such cases the excess of solute will rapidly separate from the solution as crystals or an amorphous powder.

  6. Fatty acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid

    Since the saturated fatty acids are higher melting than the unsaturated precursors, the process is called hardening. Related technology is used to convert vegetable oils into margarine. The hydrogenation of triglycerides (vs fatty acids) is advantageous because the carboxylic acids degrade the nickel catalysts, affording nickel soaps.

  7. Iodine value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_value

    Such a triglyceride has a high iodine value (approx. 119). Below, the reaction product after the addition of four equivalents of iodine or bromine to the four C=C double bonds of the unsaturated fatty acid residues. The determination of iodine value is a particular example of iodometry. A solution of iodine I 2 is yellow/brown in

  8. Solution (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_(chemistry)

    Making a saline water solution by dissolving table salt in water.The salt is the solute and the water the solvent. In chemistry, a solution is defined by IUPAC as "A liquid or solid phase containing more than one substance, when for convenience one (or more) substance, which is called the solvent, is treated differently from the other substances, which are called solutes.

  9. List of saturated fatty acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_saturated_fatty_acids

    Saturated fatty acids are fatty acids that make up saturated fats. Common Name Systematic Name ... List of unsaturated fatty acids; Carboxylic acid. List of ...
