Write names and formulae of hydrocarbons containing a single and a double bond (one example for each). Give one characteristic chemical property of each.
Hydrocarbon having single bond is methane (CH4). It is a saturated hydrocarbon hence, it undergoes substitution reaction with chlorine.
Hydrocarbon having double bond is ethene (CH2=CH2). It is a unsaturated hydrocarbon hence, it undergoes addition reaction in the presence of a catalyst like nickel or palladium.
