Best Answer

It is a saturated hydrocarbon because it contains no double bonds in its structure.

The general formula for alcohol series is CnH2n+1OH.

For example, structure of ethanol is as follows:-

H3C-CH2-OH

No double bonds. A saturated fat has hydrocarbon chains that are close together. An unsaturated fat contains double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains which makes a kink in the chain. This makes them sit farther apart and thus more liquid than saturated hydrocarbons.
