The double covalent bond within unsaturated hydrocarbons are easily broken.
Why unsaturated covalent bond easily broken ?
- The unsaturated hydrocarbon contains double bond are called alkenes.
- Since, the covalent bond in alkenes are reactive and easily broken despite of having double bond.
- The double bond in unsaturated hydrocarbons are form by the side-wise overlapping of p-orbitals.
- This side-wise overlapping is weak because it form by overlapping of p-orbitals lying parallel to each others.
- Therefore, unsaturated hydrocarbon contains double bond are easily broken.
