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)

For multiple covalent bonds to form in molecules, the molecules must contain carbon nitrogen or oxygen.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Think about carbon dioxide (CO2). If every oxygen atom imparts one electron to the carbon molecule, there will be 6 electrons in carbon particle and 7 electrons in every oxygen atom. This doesn't give the carbon atom as a total octet.

Sometimes more than one set of electrons is shared between two atoms. In carbon dioxide, a second electron from every oxygen atom is likewise imparted with the central carbon atom, and the carbon particle imparts one more electron with every oxygen atom.

Two sets of electrons shared between two atoms make a double bond between the atoms. A few particles contain triple bonds, covalent bonds in which three sets of electrons are shared by two atoms.
