Question

Carbon atoms in saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons are tetravalent why do they differ in their reactivity?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Unsaturated are those compounds which are either double or triple bonded as they are more reactive due to the presence of pi bond but in case of saturated compounds only have single bond so they are less reactive and more strong due to the presence of sigma bonds.

Answer 2

Answer:

The difference in the reactivity is because of the nature of the bonds present. Saturated hydrocarbon have all single bonds while unsaturated hydrocarbons have at least one double bond and triple bond in their molecules which make them quite reactive.
