Paraffins - alkanes are organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen (substituted groups) which consist of only single bonds. Hence they are fully saturated organic compounds.

Olefins - alkenes are organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen (substituted groups) which consist of double bonds along with single bonds. Hence they are unsaturated organic compounds.


25Harsh11: Can olefins also contain triple bonds ?
AanyaKandwal: No
AanyaKandwal: It is because it is alkene
25Harsh11: Thanks for your help.
