Which of the following are saturated hydrocarbons?
Correct answer: A. Alkane
- A. Alkane
- B. Alkenes
- C. Alkyne
- D. Alkyl radical
Explanation
The correct answer is option A: Alkane. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with only single bonds between carbon atoms. Option B (Alkenes) and Option C (Alkyne) are unsaturated hydrocarbons as they contain double and triple bonds between carbon atoms, respectively. Option D (Alkyl radical) does not fall under the category of saturated hydrocarbons.
