Question

Name the following compounds and which one is saturated among them. 

a) CH₃ – C ≡ H– CH₃ 

b) CH₃ – CH = CH – CH₃ 

c) CH₃ – CH₂ – CH₂ – CH₃

Answer 1

a) 2-Butyne 

b) 2 – Butene 

c) Butane

Butane does not show any double or triple bonds. Its valency is completely satisfied with formation of single bond. So it is a saturated compound.
