What is meant by the statement "saturated hydrocarbons are relatively inert"?

They are difficult to obtain energy from. They will not form other compounds readily. They react with oxygen only with difficulty. They will not combine with similar molecules

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.
