Answer:

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms.These are called as alkanes. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is [tex]C_nH_{2n+2}[/tex]

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons which have double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is [tex]C_nH_{2n}[/tex] and [tex]C_nH_{2n-2}[/tex].

1. Propyne is [tex]C_3H_4[/tex] and is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

2. Methane is [tex]CH_4[/tex] and is a saturated hydrocarbon

3. Nonane is [tex]C_9H_{20}[/tex] is a saturated hydrocarbon.

4. Methyl is [tex]CH_3[/tex] and is a saturated alkyl group.
