Answer 1

B) with single bonds..... Hope it helps, Have a nice day :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are the hydrocarbons in which single bond is between carbon and carbon atoms is present.

The general formula for these hydrocarbons is given as:

$C_nH_{2n+2}$

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which double or triple covalent C-C bonds are there. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively.

The general formula for these hydrocarbons are given as:

• $C_nH_{2n}$ (alkenes)
• $C_nH_{2n-2}$ (alkynes)
