Propane is an alkane and as such, contains only single covalent bonds, so it is considered saturated because each of its carbon atoms is single bonded with a hydrogen atom or another carbon atom.

∙ 11y agoAlkanes are also known as saturated hydrocarbons as there are the most number of hydrogen atoms available to the given carbon chain. And alkanes only contain carbon and hydrogen, so called saturated hydrocarbons.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAlkanes are moilecules made up of carbon that only have single bonds in it. That means that all other bonds are filled with hydrogen, so it is called saturated. If there are any double or triple bonds in the molecule, then it would have room to add more hydrogens (by breaking those bonds) and so it is called unsaturated.

Chemically, it undergoes no further additions with hydrogen.
