Types of hydrocarbon

• Saturated hydrocarbon

       Those hydrocarbon in which the carbon atom are connected

        by  single bonds are called saturated hydrocarbons.

• Unsaturated hydrocarbon

        Those hydrocarbon in which two carbon atoms in a molecule

         unsaturated hydrocarbon , that is alkenes.  

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is your answer user .

Hydrocarbons are compounds of carbon containing hydrogen .

hydrocarbons is of two type of saturated and unsaturated .

Saturated

Alkanes

Single bond c - c

Suffix - ane

Example Methane CH4

General formula CnH2n + 2

Unsaturated

1 Alkenes (double bond)

Suffix Ene

Example Ethene C2H4

General formula CnH2n

2 Alkyne (

Triple bond )

Suffix Yne

Example Hexyne

General formula CnH2n -2 .
