Hydrogenation reaction is the addition of hydrogen to an unsaturated carbon compound across a double or triple bond.
The addition of hydrogen to an unsaturated hydrocarbon molecule in presence of Ni/Pt catalyst is said to be a hydrogenation reaction. It can be explained by the following example:           CHCH+H2+NiCH2=H2C+H2+Ni CH3-CH3
 Ethyne                              Ethene                                    Ethane
