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 type of C-C bonds in the molecule
No, saturated hydrocarbons are not ionic. They are formed by covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms. Ionic compounds involve the transfer of electrons between elements with significantly different electronegativities.
Methylbenzene (toluene) is a cyclic hydrocarbon based on the benzene ring (C6H6) with a methyl group (CH3) replacing one of the hydrogens to give C7H8. The benzene ring itself is a rather special kind of hydrocarbon, but is considered to be unsaturated - Therefore, toluene is unsaturated. The saturated equivalent of benzene is cyclohexane (C6H12). The saturated equivalent of toluene is methylcyclohexane, C7H14.
As ethene contains double bond it is considered as unsaturated hydrocarbon. Note-hydrocarbon is said to saturated when it contain C-C single bond and hydrocarbon is said to unsaturated when it has carbon carbon double or triple bonds
The basis for its saturation is a hydrocarbon with the general formula:- CnH2n+2 If a compound does not satisfy this, then it is unsaturated. Thus here 'n' = 12 Thus with 12 Carbon atoms present in the molecule, to be saturated, would need 26 Hydrogen atoms (C12H26). C12H22 is therefore unsaturated and will have 4 Carbon to Carbon double bonds in it.
Saturated hydrocarbon does not decolourise bromine water while unsaturated hydrocarbon decolourize it.
Cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.

No, methyl is not an unsaturated hydrocarbon. It is a saturated hydrocarbon because it contains only single bonds between carbon atoms. Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain double or triple bonds between carbon atoms.

A hydrocarbon in which all carbon atoms are connected by single covalent bonds is a saturated hydrocarbon. This means that the carbon atoms are "saturated" with the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible. Unsaturated hydrocarbons have double or triple bonds between carbon atoms, while aromatic hydrocarbons contain special ring structures like benzene. Substituted hydrocarbons have functional groups attached to the hydrocarbon chain.
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.
