Question

what is the difference between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons explain with suitable example​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Alkanes - Are saturated hydrocarbons that therefore contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms bonded to each other, and typically follow the chemical formula CnH2n+2. A common example is paraffin.

2. Alkenes - These unsaturated hydrocarbons are molecules that contain at least one carbon-to-carbon double bond. With the chemical formula consisting of molecules of CnH2n, alkenes are very common in the petrochemical industry; the simplest alkene is ethylene, or ethane.

Answer 2

$\mathfrak{\huge{\green{\underline{\underline{Answer :}}}}}$

Saturated carbons are single bonded and have a greater compliment of hydrogen. ( hence, saturated )

Unsaturated carbons are attached to fewer hydrogen because has double or triple covalent bonds between the carbons.

They are called alkenes or alkynes

Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds and maximum hydrogen content.

If you pass hydrogen gas through the unsaturated hydrocarbons they will become saturated. And that is called hydrogenation. I know on ingredient labels they sometimes write that it has hydrogenated vegetable oil. That means that the regular vegetable oil is unsaturated and they saturated it.
