If the hydrocarbon has only single bonds, it is saturated
If it das double and triple bonds, it is unsaturated
If it das double and triple bonds, it is unsaturated

Based on the kind of bonding between carbon atoms, hydrocarbons are classified into two major groups:
1. Saturated hydrocarbons
2.Unsaturated hydrocarbons
Saturated hydrocarbons are the ones which contain only single bonds between adjacent carbon atoms.
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
Eg: CH₄ (Methane)
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are the ones which contain either double bond or triple bond between two adjacent carbon atoms.
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with carbon-carbon double bonds.
Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with carbon-carbon triple bonds.
Eg: C₂H₄ (Ethene), C₂H₂ (Ethyne)
