Differences between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon?

 
 

Saturated Organic Compounds

Unsaturated Organic Compounds

These organic compounds contain single carbon-carbon covalent bond.

These organic compounds contain at least one double or triple covalent bond. image

Due to the presence of all single covalent bonds, these compounds are less reactive.

Due to the presence of double and triple bonds, these compounds are more reactive.

Saturated compounds undergo substitution reactions. Example: image

Unsaturated compounds under go addition reactions. Example: image

The number of hydrogen atoms is more when compared to its corresponding unsaturated hydrocarbon.

The number of hydrogen atoms is less when compared to its corresponding unsaturated hydrocarbon.

 Saturated ---- which has single covalent bonds

Unsaturated ----- which have double or triple bonds. Thats the basic difference

  • -2

Saturated :which has single covalent bonds(alkanes)

Unsaturated : which have double or triple bonds.(alkenes and alkynes) 

  • -3

saturated are the single covalent bond..its also known as alkanes..

unsaturated are the double nd triple bond...its also known as alkenes nd alkynes.....

plzzz thumbs up..
