1 Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) are the simplest of the hydrocarbon species. 2  They are composed entirely of single bonds and are saturated with hydrogen. 3  The general formula for saturated hydrocarbons is C n H 2n+2 (assuming non-cyclic structures). The general formula for saturated hydrocarbons is C n H 2n+2 (assuming non-cyclic structures). 2  Saturated hydrocarbons are the basis of petroleum fuels and are found as either linear or branched species. 3  Substitution reaction is their characteristics property (like chlorination reaction to form chloroform).
