A type of hydrocarbon that contains carbon atoms connected only by a single bond is called saturated hydrocarbon. It is the simplest form of the hydrocarbon species.

Which hydrocarbon have only one single bonds?

Liking the lolly's pop Hey I have a question 4 u. Why ask such a boring question, even if it was between life and death, u choose to ask that? Why no ask a funny one like; who other than me fantasises over Barbie? That surely ought to give u a interesting comments! YOLO (you. Only. live. once ) just in case ur too old for da slang


How are unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbon different?

Saturated hydrocarbon cannot bond with compounds anymore, where as unsaturated hydrocarbons can bond, as they contain double or triple bonds. When they bond, the double and triple bonds break and new separate single bonds are formed with hydrogens or any other external compounds.


Why this hydrocarbon is an alkane?

Saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula: CnH2n+2.


What type of reactions do saturated hydrocarbons undergo as opposed to unsaturated hydrocarbons?

Subistitution reaction: It's a reaction where the bonds of unsaturated alkenes (double bond) can be broken down and substituted by other elements, which replace hydrogen bonds. Also they will form only a single bond.


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.

Why Can't hydrocarbons with single bonds form geometric isomers?

because in order for it to be geometric it has to be double bond. geometric only works with alkenes
