Question
What is meant by saturated and unsaturated carbon compounds?

Answer

Saturated carbon compounds : Compounds of carbon having only single bonds between the carbon atoms are known as saturated carbon compounds.
Unsaturated carbon compounds : Compounds of carbon having double or triple bonds between the carbon atoms are known as unsaturated cabon compounds.
$\rightarrow$ Unsaturated carbon compounds are more reactive than saturated carbon compounds.
