• Saturated Hydrocarbons

• Compounds of carbon and hydrogen whose adjacent carbon atoms contain only one carbon–carbon bond.

• These saturated hydrocarbons are called alkanes.

• The general formula for an Alkane is CnH2n+2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Unsaturated Hydrocarbons

• Compounds of carbon and hydrogen that contain one double bond between carbon atoms (carbon=carbon) or a triple bond between carbon atoms (carbon≡carbon).

• It is divided into Alkenes (double bond) and Alkynes (triple bond).

• The general formulas are:

 

• CnH2n for Alkenes

 

• CnH2n-2 for Alkynes.
