Q

What are the differences of a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon? Also give the names for each.

A

A saturated hydrocarbon has only single bonds between the carbons and all remaining bonding positions are filled by hydrogen. An unsaturated hydrocarbon has at least one double or triple bond between the carbon atoms. The names for a single bond only saturated hydrocarbon is Alkane. The name for an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a double bond is Alkene. The name for an unsaturated hydrocarbon with triple bonds is an Alkyne.
