The names and general formula for saturated Hydrocarbons is Alkane and the formula is: CnH2n+2
Alkanes have the general molecular formula CnH2n+2. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons because each member of the family has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms per carbon atom in its molecular formula. Alkenes have the general formula CnH2n, and are examples of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
