Define a. Saturated hydrocarbons with
example by unsaturated
Answers
Contain fewer hydrogens than the corresponding saturated hydrocarbon. Examples include alkanes and cycloalkanes. Examples include alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. They have a relatively low chemical reactivity. They are more reactive than their saturated counterparts.

Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds between carbon atoms. They are the simplest class of hydrocarbons. They are called saturated because each carbon atom is bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that have double or triple covalent bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. The term "unsaturated" means more hydrogen atoms may be added to the hydrocarbon to make it saturated

Alkenes and Alkynes: Structure and Physical Properties
Ethene, C2H4, is an example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Other examples of unsaturated compounds are benzene, C6H6, and acetic acid, C2H4O2. All bond angles about the carbon-carbon double bond are 120o.
