Question

Give the structural difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons with two examples each.

Answer 1

Saturated hydrocarbons containing carbon-carbon single bond also, the carbon and hydrogen atoms bonded together by single bond. 

i.e. alkane. eg. CH₄ (Methane) 

Unsaturated hydrocarbons have double or even triple bonds between carbon atoms. 

i.e alkene e.g. CH₂ = CH₂ (ethene)

     alkyne e.g. CH ≡ CH (ethyne)
