Study Notes

Saturated Hydrocarbons

Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
They are called saturated because each carbon atom is bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible.
Another name for them is alkanes.
Their general formula is CnH2n+2.
Using this formula, methane (n=1), ethane (n=2), and propane (n=3) can be identified.

Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

Unsaturated hydrocarbons have some carbon atoms with double or triple bonds.
