Saturated & Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen only. Hydrocarbons can be saturated or unsaturated.

Saturated hydrocarbons

Saturated hydrocarbons have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms with all carbon-carbon bonds being single bonds (no π-bonds).
Alkanes (C_nH_2n+2) are saturated hydrocarbons.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons

Unsaturated hydrocarbons do not contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
Non-cyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons contain at least one ℼ-bond (either carbon-carbon double or triple bond).
Alkenes (C_nH_2n) are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
