Hi Amritha ,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Hydrogenation is the process of addition of hydrogen to an unsaturated organic compound (compounds containing double or triple bond) to convert it into a saturated compound (compound containing single bonds). This process requires catalyst, non-catalyzed hydrogenation occurs only at very high temperatures.

For example, let us consider the hydrogenation of ethene (CH ₂=CH ₂).

$C H_{2} = C H_{2} + H_{2} \overset{N i}{\to} C H_{3} - C H_{3}$

The process of hydrogenation is also used in saturation of vegetable oils.

The physical properties changes on hydrogenation are :

Density
Physical state
