Question
. A saturated hydrocarbons always has *A. a ring.B. only single bonds.C. at least one double or triple bond.D. more carbon atoms than hydrogen atoms
Solution
The correct answer is B. Saturated hydrocarbons always have only single bonds. This is because "saturated" refers to the fact that the hydrocarbon has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible, which can only be achieved with single bonds. Double or triple bonds (option C) would mean it's unsaturated. Having a ring (option A) or more carbon atoms than hydrogen atoms (option D) is not a requirement for a hydrocarbon to be saturated.
