Answer 1

Answer:

C3H8 is saturated compound.

Explanation:

A saturated compounds are organic compounds having single covalent bond between carbon atoms.

Answer 2

Answer: saturated

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is $C_nH_{2n+2}$.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are 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 $C_nH_{2n}$ and $C_nH_{2n-2}$.

The given compound is $C_3H_8$ belongs to formula $C_nH_{2n+2}$  where n=3 and thus a saturated hydrocarbon.
