Unsaturated hydrocarbons need a to react. high activation energy low activation energy high ionization energy high temperature

low activation energy

Explanation:

Activation energy is the extra energy required by the reactants to overcome the energy barrier to convert to products.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons which have double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is and .

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are more reactive than the saturated ones because of the presence of bonds. They are weaker than bonds and thus can be easily broken and thus require less energy for conversion into products.
