Question

distinction between saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon relates to

Answer 1

Explanation:

A saturated hydrocarbon is the hydrocarbon in which all its carbon-carbon bonds are single. ... An unsaturated hydrocarbon,however, is the one in which some carbon-carbon bonds can be double or triple. e.g alkenes like ethene have double bonds while alkynes like ethyne have triple bonds.

Answer 2

Answer:

The saturated hydro carbons having single bond

While the unsaturated ones having double or triple bond

Explanation:

• Hydrocarbon chains which are connected the carbon chain C-C with a single bond is known as saturated bond and they are called ALKANES.

Example- C-C-C-C, Butane.

• Hydrocarbon chains which are connected the carbon chain C=C double or triple bond is known as unsaturated hydrocarbons and they are called ALKENES or ALKYNES respectively.

Example_ C=C=C=, Propene.
