| saturated hydrocarbon |
An alkane in organic chemistry is a saturated hydrocarbon without cycles, that is, an acyclic hydrocarbon in which the molecule has the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms and so has no double bonds. Alkanes are also often known as paraffins, or collectively as the paraffin series; these terms, however, are also used to apply only to alkanes whose carbon atoms form a single, unbranched chain; when this is done, branched-chain alkanes are called isoparaffins. ...

| saturated solution |
In chemistry, saturation has three meanings: #In physical chemistry, saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance. This point, the saturation point, depends on the temperature of the liquid as well as the chemical nature of the substances involved. ...

The general meaning of the word saturated is "full", in some sense. In discussing solutions, chemists refer to a saturated solution: one having the maximum possible amount of solute dissolved. In organic chemistry, the term is used to refer to the count of hydrogens. There is a common "rule" that an alkane of n carbon atoms contains 2n+2 hydrogen atoms; this reflects the maximum number of H possible for a given number of C. Such an alkane is said to be saturated. ...
