saturés

Saturés is a term that can refer to several concepts depending on the context. In chemistry, saturated compounds are molecules where all carbon atoms are bonded to the maximum possible number of other atoms, typically through single bonds. For hydrocarbons, this means they contain only single bonds between carbon atoms and are bonded to hydrogen atoms. For example, alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.

In the context of solutions, a saturated solution is a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature and pressure. If more solute is added, it will remain undissolved at the bottom of the container. This state is a dynamic equilibrium where the rate of dissolution equals the rate of precipitation.

In electronics, a saturated transistor is one that is operating in its saturation region, meaning it is fully "on" and conducting current as much as possible. This state is characterized by a low voltage drop across the transistor.

In a more general sense, saturés can also describe a state of being completely filled or having reached a limit. For instance, a market can be saturated if it has too many competitors and no room for new entrants. The meaning of saturés is highly dependent on the specific field of study or discussion.
