Saturated hydrocarbon	Unsaturated hydrocarbon
1. It consists of a single bond between carbon atoms.	Double or triple bond between carbon atoms is present.
2. It bums with a blue flame.	It burns with a sooty flame.
3. Show substitution reaction	Show additional reaction.
4. Less reactive Eg. $$CH_4$$, Methane $$C_2H_6$$, Ethane	More reactive E.g. $$H_2C=CH_2$$, Ethene $$HC ≡ CH$$, Ethyne
