What does it mean when an alkane is saturated?

Answers

Answered by hudaattar123

Answer:

Being saturated means the alkane molecules have no C=C double bonds, only carbon–carbon single bonds, and so alkanes combined with the maximum number of atoms i.e. no atoms can add to it. Compare alkanes with unsaturated alkenes – unsaturated with a double C=C bond.
