Saturated Hydrocarbon
In this type of hydrocarbon , the carbon atom are connected by a single covalent bond . These are called Alkane and general formula CH where n = 1,2,3 etc . These are less reactive as they contain strong bonds .
Eg : CH
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 CH and triple bonded compounds are called Alkynes and has general formula CH . These are more reactive as they contain bonds which are easily broken .
Eg : CH = CH
