Why saturated hydrocarbons are less reactive than unsaturated hydrocarbons and vice versa?

Answer» Unsaturated hydrocarbons are more reactive due to the presence of C = C and C = C bonds which are weaker than the single bond in saturated hydrocarbons. These double and triple bonds are the reactive sites in the unsaturated hydrocarbons which easily give addition reactions.
