How did you mean by saturated hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
Are alkenes hydrocarbons?
Yes, since hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, and alkenes fit this description. More specifically, alkenes contain at least one C to C double bond (but no triple bonds) and their general formula is CnH2n+2
How is the way in which carbon atoms bond to each other important for the number of carbon-based compounds?
Hydrocarbons are molecules consisting of/containing only atoms of carbon and hydrogen. There are many different kinds of hydrocarbons based on different numbers of carbon atoms in the molecules and whether or not any of the carbons are connected by double bonds rather than single bonds.
How many of these bonds can be formed by a single carbon atoms hydrocarbons?
A carbon can form a maximum of four bonds.
Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?
All alkanes have single bonds.They consist of single bonds.
What are Hydrocarbons containing only single-bonded carbon atoms called?
Saturated hydrocarbons

How is the way in which carbon atoms bond to each important for the number of carbon-based compounds?

What are saturated Hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have every possible bonding site on the carbon backbone that could bond to a hydrogen bonded to a hydrogen. All carbon-carbon bonds are single. These hydrocarbons are rigid and have high melting temperatures. Lard, Crisco, Butter, and Margarine are saturated.Unsaturated hydrocarbons don't and therefor contain one or more double or triple carbon-carbon bond(s). These hydrocarbons are "floppy" and have lower melting temperatures. Cooking and Salad oils are unsaturated.
Are alkenes hydrocarbons?
Yes, since hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, and alkenes fit this description. More specifically, alkenes contain at least one C to C double bond (but no triple bonds) and their general formula is CnH2n+2

What are lipids joined to another carbon atom by a single bond?
saturated hydrocarbons
How are alkanes alkenes and alkynes similar How are they different from each other?
Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes are all hydrocarbons. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with single bonds and a general formula of CnH2n+2 (general formula for cycloalkanes is different) Alkenes are hydrocarbons that have the general formula CnH2n and contain a carbon-carbon double bond. Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon triple bond with general formula C2H2n-2 so that's how they're different. The super obvious thing that makes them similar is their IUPAC nomenclature. That's the basics of it.
How many of these bonds can be formed by a single carbon atoms hydrocarbons?
A carbon can form a maximum of four bonds.
What are carbon containing compounds?
Every single organic thing contains carbon.
What compounds containing carbon?
Every single organic thing contains carbon.
A saturated hydrocarbon is an organic compound which contains hydrogen and carbon joined?
The bond is covalent; the meaning of saturated is a single bond between carbon atoms (C-C).
