 hey mudrika!!!!!!!

here is ur answer!:)
Saturated hydrocarbons-

3.These compounds are less reactive.4.These compounds under go substitution reactions.CH4 + Cl2  →  CH3Cl + HCl
5.Saturated hydrocarbons burns with blue flame

Unsaturated hydrocarbons-
1.Unsaturated hydrocarbons are the straight chain compounds containing double or triple covalent bonds.Hydrocarbons with a double bond between carbon atoms are known as alkenes. Hydrocarbons with triple bonds between carbon atoms are known as alkynes. 
2.These compounds have less number of hydrogen atoms when compared to its corresponding unsaturated hydrocarbons.
3.These compounds are more reactive.
4.These compounds under go addition reactions. CH2=CH2 + H2 → CH3 - CH3
5.Unsaturated hydrocarbons burns with sooty flame.
