Unsaturated Hydrocarbons Saturated Hydrocarbons: Saturated Hydrocarbons are Hydrocarbons with many atoms that more atoms cannot be added to the Hydrocarbon without replacing any of the preexisting atoms are called Saturated Hydrocarbons. Example of Saturated Hydrocarbon: Alkane Saturated Hydrocarbons are also formed with the formation of single bonds. Unsaturated Hydrocarbons: Unsaturated Hydrocarbons are Hydrocarbons that can have more atoms added to them without replacing any of the preexisting atoms are called Unsaturated Hydrocarbons. Example of Unsaturated Hydrocarbons: Alkene & Alkyne Unsaturated Hydrocarbons are also formed with the formation of a
