Question

The carbon atoms in saturated hydrocarbons ________. Group of answer choices contain a benzene ring contain at least one double bond contain both a double and a triple bond have only single bonds contain at least one double bond

Answer 1

Answer:

Have only single bonds.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we need to remember that saturation is a state at which a carbon chain contains no insaturations, that is neither double nor triple bonds such case are alkenes and alkynes, but saturations only which are characterized by the presence of single bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. Such is the case of ethane (CH₃-CH₃), propane (CH₃-CH₂-CH₃), butane (CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃) and so on.

Best regards.
