Which of the following are saturated hydrocarbons?A.Alkynes onlyB.Alkanes onlyC.Alkanes and alkenesD.Alkenes and alkynesSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
Solution
The answer is B. Alkanes only.
Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons in which all the bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds. This means that they are "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. Alkanes are the only ones among the options given that fit this description.
Alkenes and alkynes, on the other hand, contain double and triple bonds respectively between carbon atoms and are therefore considered unsaturated hydrocarbons.
