hey mate here is ur ans.....
========================
Saturated molecules have only sigma bonds, which are very stable and hard to break.Unsaturated molecules, however, have pi bonds, and they are weaker. They deform the orbitals slightly and are more strained. Therefore, they are easier to break and will react faster.

Unsaturated compounds have double or triple bonds which are weak and can easily break during chemical reactions.

Saturated compounds have single bonds which are comparatively stronger and hence, they are less reactive.

Textbook:

We've learned in Substitution reaction that saturated hydrocarbons are fairly unreactive and inert except in the presence of Sunlight.
