\nLet us observe the following structural formulae of different\u00a0hydrocarbons.
\n1) CH3<\/sub>\u2013CH2<\/sub>\u2013CH2<\/sub>\u2013CH2<\/sub>\u2013CH3<\/sub> n-pentane, a straight chain compound.<\/p>\n
\n1) Hydrocarbons containing only single bonds between carbon atoms are\u00a0called Alkanes<\/i>.
\n2) Hydrocarbons containing atleast one double bond between carbon\u00a0atoms are called Alkenes, <\/i>and
\n3) Hydrocarbons containing atleast one triple between carbon atoms are\u00a0called Alkynes<\/i>.<\/p>\n
\nThe hydrocarbons containing only C\u2013<\/b>C single bonds are known as\u00a0saturated hydrocarbons. <\/i>All alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. The\u00a0hydrocarbons that contain at least one double bond (C=C) or contain atleast\u00a0one triple bond (C \u2261\u00a0C) between the two carbon atoms are called\u00a0unsaturated hydrocarbons<\/i>. Alkenes and Alkynes are the examples for\u00a0unsaturated hydrocarbons.
\nStraight chain, branched chain and closed chain hydro carbon\u00a0compounds may be saturated or unsaturated. See the following examples.
