Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The hydrocarbons that have only single bonds between carbon atoms are saturated hydrocarbons. Some hydrocarbons may have multiple bonds such as a double bond or a triple bond between two carbon atoms. A hydrocarbon that has at least one multiple bond is known as an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
