Answer: B. Heptane
Explanation:
Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. they are known 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]
A. Nonyne is an alkyne with 9 carbon atoms with molecular formula of [tex]C_9H_{16}[/tex]
B. Heptane is an alkane with 7 carbon atoms with molecular formula of [tex]C_7H_{16}[/tex]
C. Ethyne is an alkyne with 2 carbon atoms with molecular formula of [tex]C_2H_{2}[/tex].
D. Hexene is an alkene with 6 carbon atoms with molecular formula of [tex]C_6H_{12}[/tex]
