ANSWER
1. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that are made of only hydrogen and carbon atoms.
2. Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms and are called alkanes.
General formula: C

3. Unsaturated hydrocarbons have double and triple bonds between carbon atoms. They are alkenes and alkynes.
General formula: alkenes: C

Ethyne (Alkyne):- CH≡CH
4. Unsaturated hydrocarbons can be converted to saturated hydrocarbons by addition of hydrogen which breaks the double or triple bond.

hope u understand after reading
Answer: Unsaturated hydrocarbons
Explanation:
since they form double and triple bonds unsaturated hydrocarbons are more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons which form only single bonds
