Saturated Hydrocarbon

In this type of hydrocarbon , the carbon atom are connected by a single covalent bond . These are called Alkane and general formula CnH2n+2 where n = 1,2,3 etc . These are less reactive as they contain strong bonds .

Eg : CH4

Unsaturated Hydrocarbon

In this type of hydrocarbon , the carbon atom are connected b double or triple bonds . The double bonded compounds are called Alkenes and general formula CnH2n and triple bonded compounds are called Alkynes and has general formula CnH2n-2 . These are more reactive as they contain bonds which are easily broken .

Eg : CH2 = CH2
