Answer:
A saturated sraight-chain hydrocarbon with two carbons is ethane.
Explanation:
Saturated hydrocarbons are called as alkanes with general formula [tex]C_{n}H_{2n+2}[/tex] where n=1,2,3,4......
Now, as it contains two carbon atoms therefore name of this compound should contain a prefix "eth". Also a suffix "ane" will come due to the fact that it is a saturated hydrocarbon.
So, molecular formula of this compound is [tex]C_{2}H_{6}[/tex]
Structure of this straight chain compound has been attached below.
