Hello!
Saturated hydrocarbons are generally unreactive except in the presence of high temperatures and oxygen.
Saturated hydrocarbons are called Alkanes. These compounds are generally unreactive, but when exposed to high temperatures and oxygen they react in a combustion reaction to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water. This reaction is very violent and spontaneous and explosions of household gas cylinders occur because of the spontaneity of this reaction.
Have a nice day!
