उत्तर
(1) Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons in which the carbon atoms are connected by single bonds only. They are also called alkanes, and their general formula is CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in each of their molecules.
Examples: Methane (CH4) and butane (C4H10) are saturated hydrocarbons with 1 and 4 carbon atoms respectively, and their names end with 'ane'. The atoms are only connected by single covalent bonds.
The structures are represented below
