Answer 2

Saturated compound contains a double bond if this is the first time you're doing this you may want to draw out the compound first

Answer 3

let's start with C6H10

Step #1 draw out the carbon backbone



Step #2 put in all the hydrogens and count them.
Remember every carbon must have four bonds to it, ALWAYS.

Answer 4

NEXT we, put in all our hydrogens, we have used 10 hydrogens.

BUT
what do we need to finish this figure off?
