Saturated hydrocarbons Unsaturated hydrocarbons
$1.$ Saturated hydrocarbons burn with a clean blue flame because they have a higher hydrogen-to-carbon ratio,allowing for complete combustion. $1.$ Unsaturated hydrocarbons burn with a yellow,sooty flame due to a higher carbon-to-hydrogen ratio,which leads to incomplete combustion.
$2.$ They undergo complete combustion,producing only $CO_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$ as products. $2.$ They undergo incomplete combustion,producing unburnt carbon particles (soot) in addition to $CO_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$.

$(ii)$ $(a)$ The chemical name of $C_{4}H_{10}$ is Butane. Its structure is: $CH_{3}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{3}$.
$(b)$ The chemical name of $C_{2}H_{2}$ is Ethyne. Its structure is: $H-C\equiv C-H$.
