What is Saturated Compound?
A compound in which every carbon-to-carbon bond is a single covalent bond; an unsaturated compound, by contrast, contains one or more carbon-to-carbon bonds that are not single, such as the C=C double bond of an alkene.
This definition is part of the Organic Chemistry chapter in Cambridge O Level Chemistry.
