Which of the following is a characteristic of saturated hydrocarbons?
  1. They contain double bonds
  2. They contain triple bonds
  3. They are less stable than unsaturated hydrocarbons
  4. They contain only single bonds

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of saturated hydrocarbons?
  • Step 1: Understand what hydrocarbons are. Hydrocarbons are compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Learn about the types of bonds in hydrocarbons. There are single bonds, double bonds, and triple bonds.
  • Step 3: Identify what saturated hydrocarbons are. Saturated hydrocarbons are those that only have single bonds between carbon atoms.
  • Step 4: Recognize that because they only have single bonds, saturated hydrocarbons cannot hold any more hydrogen atoms than they already do.
