1) Saturated hydrocarbons (Alkanes)
A hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected by only single bond is called a saturated hydrocarbon. The saturated hydrocarbons are also called alkanes.
The general Fermilab of Alkanes is CnH2n+2, where 'n' is the number of carbon atoms in one molecule of the alkane.
2) Unsaturated hydrocarbon (Alkenes and Alkynes)
A hydrocarbon in which two carbon atoms are connected by 'double bond' or a 'triple bonds' is called an unsaturated hydrocarbons.
Unsaturated hydrocarbon of two types:
I) Alkenes: An unsaturated hydrocarbon in which the two carbon atoms are connected by double bond is called alkene.
The general formula of Alkene is CnH2n, where 'n' is the number of carbon atom in the one molecule.
ii) Alkynes: An unsaturated hydrocarbon in which the two carbon atoms are connected by triple bond is called alkyne.
The general formula of Alkane is CnH2n-2 Where 'n' is the number of carbon atoms in one molecule of Alkyne.
