Hydrocarbons that only contain single C-C bonds are called_____________.

• saturated hydrocarbons

• unsaturated hydrocarbons

• simple polymers

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are called this because______________.

• Each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms

• Hydrocarbon molecules cannot mix with water

• Hydrocarbons that have one or more double or triple bonded Carbon-Carbon can instead have more hydrogen atoms bonded to these carbon atoms through chemical reactions

Is this hydrocarbon saturated or unsaturated?

• saturated

• unsaturated
