Difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons are as follows:
Saturated hydrocarbons Unsaturated hydrocarbons.
1. In this type, the carbon atoms are connected by a single covalent bond. 1.In this type, the carbon atoms are connected by multiple bonds like double (=) or triple (≡) bonds.
2.These single bonded compounds are called as Alkene, with a general formula CnH2n+2 where,n= 1,2,3... 2. These double bonded compounds are called Alkene with a general formula CnH2n and the triple bonded compounds are called Alkynes with a general formula CnH2n-2
