Question

saturated hydrocarbons undergo which type of reactions? explain it with an example ?

Answer 1

They undergo substituion reaction.Ex:

                       Zn/Cu
C2H5Cl +[H] ---------> C2H6 + HCl
                      alcoholic

Answer 2

Addition reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more molecules combine with each other to form a single substance. ... Substitution reaction does not add any atom to the hydrocarbon because it takes place only in saturated hydrocarbons(containing only single bonds).
