Name: Hydrocarbons.

Characteristic: Compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon.

Hydrocarbons are of 2 types, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Name: Saturated hydrocarbons.

Characteristic: Hydrocarbons in which the carbon atoms are connected by single bonds only.

My other name is Alkanes.

Saturated hydrocarbons are also called Alkanes.

Name: Unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Characteristic: Hydrocarbons in which the carbon atoms are connected by double bonds or triple bonds are called unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are of 2 types, Alkenes and Alkynes.
