Question

drag each tile to the correct location. categorize each hydrocarbon as being saturated or unsaturated. 3-methyloctane cyclopentene propane heptyne heptane propyne saturated unsaturated reset next

Explanation:

• Saturated Hydrocarbons: These are hydrocarbons with only single bonds (alkanes). 3 - methyloctane (alkane, has single bonds), propane (alkane, \(C_3H_8\) with single bonds), heptane (alkane, \(C_7H_{16}\) with single bonds) are saturated.
• Unsaturated Hydrocarbons: These have double or triple bonds. Cyclopentene (has a double bond, alkene), heptyne (has a triple bond, alkyne), propyne (has a triple bond, alkyne) are unsaturated.

Answer:

• Saturated: 3 - methyloctane, propane, heptane
• Unsaturated: cyclopentene, heptyne, propyne
