Saturated hydrocarbons contain carbon and hydrogen atoms that have ____ bond(s). \ 1 or 2?
2 answers:
Answer : Saturated hydrocarbons contain carbon and hydrogen atoms that have 1 bond.
Explanation :
Hydrocarbon : It is an organic compound that contains only hydrogen and the carbon atoms.
They are of two types which are saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon.
Saturated hydrocarbons : It is defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between the carbon-carbon atoms. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is
Unsaturated hydrocarbons : It is defined as the hydrocarbons which have double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is and
Hence, from this we conclude that the saturated hydrocarbon contains 1 bond between the carbon and hydrogen atoms.

The end product will depend upon
a) the amount of the reagent taken
b) the final treatment of the reaction
If we have just taken methylmagnesium iodide and p-hydroxyacetophenone, then we will get methane and hydroxyl group substituted with MgI in place of hydrogen
Figure 1
However if we have taken excess of methylmagnesium iodide which is Grignard's reagent followed by hydrolysis we will get different product
