Generally, there are two types of hydrocarbons
They are categorized on the basis of bond(s) between carbons.
1. Saturated : The carbon compound which contain single bond between them, is known as saturated hydrocarbon
Example: Alkane group
2. Unsaturated : The carbon compound which contain more than one bond i.e two or three bonds between them, is known as unsaturated hydrocarbon
Example: Alkene Or Alkyne group
----------------------------------------------
Alkane : The Saturated hydrocarbons which contains single bonds are called Alkane.
Example: C₂H₆ (ethane)
Alkene : The unsaturated hydrocarbons which contains one or double bonds are called alkenes.
Example: C₂H₄ (ethene)
Alkyne : Those containing one or more triple bonds are called Alkyne
Example: C₂H₂ (ethyne)
