ALKANES:
they form single covalent bond
burn with blue flames
they also very less reactive
So, they are saturated
ALKENES Or ALKYNES
They form Double/triple covalent bond..
They burn with sooty flame and emites smoke..
They are also reactive..
so they are unsaturated

HEY HERE'S THE ANSWER ⏬
● Alkane are those carbon compounds in the homologous series which consists of a single bond between the carbon atoms and hence , are called saturated hydrocarbons .
● Alkenes and Alkynes are those carbon compounds in the homologous series which consists of double bond and triple bond respectively . Hence , they are called unsaturated hydrocarbons .
==> Unsaturated hydrocarbons can be converted into saturated hydrocarbons by the process of hydrogenation which involves the unsaturated hydrocarbons to be heated in the presence of Nickle catalyst to form it's saturated structures through the addition of hydrogen atoms in it.
