Question

Select saturated hydrocarbons from the following: C₃H₆; C₅H₁₀; C₄H₁₀; C₆H₁₄; C₂H₄

Answer 1

Among the given hydrocarbons, only alkanes are saturated.

Alkanes have a general formula, C_nH_2n+2.

Among the given hydrocarbons, the ones that follow the above mentioned general formula are as follows:-

a) C₄H₁₀ (n = 4)

b) C₆H₁₄ (n = 6)
