An organic compound burns with a sooty flame. Is it a saturated or an unsaturated compound?
(B) It is an unsaturated compound.
Reason: Unsaturated compounds have a higher percentage of carbon compared to saturated compounds.
Thus,unsaturated compounds undergo incomplete combustion in the presence of air,producing a yellow flame with a significant amount of black smoke (soot).
