Saturated hydrocarbons are classified into three types. Write these names giving one example each, Write answers as directed

Answer 1

★There is little mistake your question★
★(Saturated hydrocarbon are not classified into three category)★


Hydrocarbons are classified into Two category - Open chain compound & closed chain compound.

Open chain Hydrocarbons :- Saturated & Unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Saturated Hydrocarbons :- Alkane are known as saturated hydrocarbons.
(The hydrocarbon whose valency must be satisfied by single covalent bond)

Unsaturated Hydrocarbons :- Alkene and Alkyne are known as unsaturated hydrocarbons. (Those hydrocarbons whose valency aren't satisfied by single covalent bond and there is need of double as well as tripple covalent bond in  satisfying the valency) .


Names as well as Example of Each

Alkane :-

general formula :- $C_{n}H_{2n} +2$ 
Example - $C_{2}H_{6}$ ---→ Ethane


Alkene :-

general formula :- $C_{n}H_{2n}$ 
Example- $C_{2}H_{4}$ -----→Ethene 


Alkyne :-

general formula :-  $C_{n}H_{2n} -2$ 
Example :- $C_{2}H_{2}$ ---→Ethyne (Acetylene)
