Examples of unsaturated hydrocarbons, are hydrocarbons with double or triple bonds.

For Example:

I I I I C=C-C-C- 1-Butene I I I

This is an example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon, because it doesn't have as many hydrogens as it could possibly have.

If it was saturated (using all the hydrogens it possibly could), it would look like this:

I I I I -C-C-C-C- Butane I I I I

example is ethane

saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that cant hold any more hydrogens, like methane. Unsatturated can hold more, like ethene, which could hold more because all alkenes have a double c=c double bond instead of c-c

There are many examples of saturated hydrocarbons. Few of them are methane, ethane, propane, butane etc.

Ethene, methene, propene and butene are all types of unsaturate hydrocarbons.

If you want one with another element included there is chloromethene - a halogenoalkene.

Which compound is a saturated hydrocarbon?

I'm not positive what you're asking, but I'll try to answer. A hydrocarbon is a carbon chain with hydrogens branching off the carbons.
