Question

What are hydro carbon give example for saturated hydrocarbon

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Hydrocarbons are compds of carbon n hydrogen

Examples of saturated hydrocarbons are alkanes

For eg, CH4, C2H6

Answer 2

Answer:

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that are made of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Example for saturated hydrocarbon : CH4 - Methane

Explanation:

A saturated hydrocarbon is known as alkane. It is a single bonded hydrocarbon. Carbon's valency is usually 4 so it bonds with 4 electrons of the other atom that is why its is C"H4". The general formula for Alkane is CnH2n+2. For 1 carbon its is 4 hydrogen(substitute n's value as 1) - Methane, for 2 carbon it is 6 hydrogen - CH6 Ethane and it goes on upto 8 carbons.  

The unsaturated hydrocarbons are Alkene and Alkyne. Alkene has a double bond and Alkyne has a triple bond.
