What is the difference in structure between a saturated and an unsaturated compound?

the difference in structure between a saturated and an unsaturated compound is found in their bonds. A Saturated compound contain only one carbon-carbon signle bond. all the four bonds of carbon are fully utilised and no more hydrogen or other atoms can attach to it. Thus, they can undergo only substitution reactions. (aka ALKANES). An Unsaturated Compound contain one double covalent bond between carbon atoms or a triple covalent bond between carbon atoms. the bonds of carbon are not fully utilised by hydrogen atoms, more of these can be attached to them. Thus, they undergo addition reactions as they have two or more hydrogen atoms less than the saturated hydrocarbons
