Question

A saturated hydrocarbon is an organic compound which contains hydrogen and carbon joined _____.

A. ) with double and triple bonds
B. ) with single bonds
C. ) by double bonds in a ringed structure
in a single long chain

Answer 1

B) with single bonds..... Hope it helps, Have a nice day :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are the hydrocarbons in which single bond is between carbon and carbon atoms is present.

The general formula for these hydrocarbons is given as:

`C_nH_(2n+2)`

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which double or triple covalent C-C bonds are there. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively.

The general formula for these hydrocarbons are given as:

• 
  `C_nH_(2n)` (alkenes)
• 
  `C_nH_(2n-2)` (alkynes)
