Question
Ethylene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Answer

(1) Ethylene $\left(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CH}_2\right)$ contains a double bond between carbon atoms.
(2) Thus, the valencies of the two carbon atoms are not fully satisfied by single covalent bonds. Hence, ethylene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
