Hydrocarbon is a compound. Unsaturated hydrocarbon refers to the hydrocarbon containing at the least, a double or triple bond. Acetic acid is an example of a hydrocarbon.
The hydrocarbon formula of the chemical ethane is C2H6.
Alkanes have single bonds only and are therefore saturated. A hydrocarbon is unsaturated if there are multiple bonds or rings within the compound. Alkenes contain double bonds, alkynes contain triple bonds, and cycloalkanes contain rings; these are unsaturated hydrocarbons. But alkanes are saturated.
Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds, such as hexane. Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain either double or triple bonds, such as hexene and hexyne.
These 3 series of saturated hydrocarbon are: linear alkanes, branched alkanes, cycloalkanes.
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
No one hydrocarbon is ionic, saturated , unsaturated and aromatic all hydrocarbons are covalent compounds.

A saturated hydrocarbon is one where all the carbon atoms are bonded to four other atoms. An unsaturated hydrocarbon is one where some of the carbon atoms aren't (an example being an alkene due to the carbon carbon double bond).
Saturated hydrocarbon cannot bond with compounds anymore, where as unsaturated hydrocarbons can bond, as they contain double or triple bonds. When they bond, the double and triple bonds break and new separate single bonds are formed with hydrogens or any other external compounds.
The difference is that a saturated hydrocarbon contains all single bonds: each carbon is surrounded by 4 hydrogens, and is thus "saturated." Meanwhile, unsaturated hydrocarbons do not contain all single bonds: they can have double bond(s) or even triple bonds. They are "unsaturated" since they do not have the maximum of 4 hydrogens around each carbon atom.
The hydrocarbon formula of the chemical ethane is C2H6.
Saturated hydrocarbon does not decolourise bromine water while unsaturated hydrocarbon decolourize it.
No, because hydrocarbons consist of only hydrogens and carbons. The suffix "-amine" means that there is a nitrogen somewhere in the formula.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons which contain one or more double carbon bonds in the chemical structure. They can become saturated hydrocarbons in the event of chemical reactions which change the structure to have only single carbon bonds - for example this occurs to an extent when unsatured cooking oil becomes saturated during cooking and becomes more solid, saturated in content.
It is a saturated hydrocarbon. This because it contains the maximum number of hydrogen required to bind with the carbon atoms present in the compound
