Saturated carbon The hydrocarbons in which single bond is present b/w carbon molecules.

The alkanes are saturated carbon

 c_{n}  h_{2n + 2}

Unsaturated carbon The hydrocarbons in which double and triple bond are present b/w the carbon molecules.

The alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated carbon

 c_{n} h_{2n} \:  \:double \: bond

Saturated Carbon Compounds

Compounds of carbon and hydrogen whose adjacent carbon atoms contain only one (carbon-carbon) bond are known as saturated hydrocarbons. Their carbon-hydrogen bonds are also single covalent bonds. They are called saturated compounds because all the four bonds of carbon are fully utilised and no more hydrogen or other atoms can attach to it. Thus, they can undergo only substitution reactions. They are also representative of open-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons. These saturated hydrocarbons are called as alkanes.

Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

Compounds of carbon and hydrogen that contain one double covalent bond between carbon atoms (carbon=carbon) or a triple covalent bond between carbon atoms (C ≡ C) are called unsaturated hydrocarbons. In these molecules, since all the bonds of carbon are not fully utilised by hydrogen atoms, more of these can be attached to them. Thus, they undergo addition reactions (add on hydrogen) as they have two or more hydrogen atoms less than the saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes).

Unsaturated hydrocarbons can be divided into 'alkenes' and 'alkynes' depending on the presence of double or triple bonds respectively.
