          breaks, being weak to form single covalent bonds, While saturated hydrocarbons have only 

         single bond which are strong.  

 

        (b) Carbon can neither lose 4 electrons as it requires too much energy , nor gain 4 electrons 

        as 6protons can't hold 10 electrons , therefore it only shares.
