How does the number of carbon atoms affect ?

It is not the number of carbon alone. The Carbon : Hydrogen Ratio also affect.
Among saturated Paraffin [ CnH2n+2 ]
Higher carbon atoms ---- > result in " Higher " Carbon : Hydrogen Ratio
Among Hydrocarbons with same number of carbon
e.g. 6 Carbon atoms
From : saturated Paraffin [ C6H14 ] ; Alkene [ C6H12 ] ; Alkyne [ C6H10 ] ; Aromatic [
C6H6 ] ---- > also result in " Higher " Carbon : Hydrogen Ratio
From { Lower } Carbon : Hydrogen Ratio to { Higher } Carbon : Hydrogen Ratio
Flame will shift from :
Blue Flame ; Dark ; Low or No Smoke ---> Yellow / Red Flame ; Bright ; Highly Smoke
DEfferentiate
1. Cyclic hydrocarbons are molecules that have carbon atoms that are
combined to form one or more rings. Acyclic hydrocarbons are carbons that
are combined to form straight or branched chains.
2. Main Difference Aromatic vs Aliphatic Compounds
Both Aromatic and Aliphatic Compounds refer to the main forms of organic
chemical compounds, and they are primarily composed of Carbon and Hydrogen.
The main difference between Aromatic and Aliphatic Compounds is that Aromatic
compounds contain an aromatic ring which is a typical benzene ring whereas
aliphatic compounds are simply the organic chemical compounds which do not
contain an aromatic ring.
b.
Saturated carbons are single bonded and have a greater compliment of
hydrogen. ( hence, saturated
Unsaturated carbons are generally doubled bonded and thus are attached to
fewer hydrogen.

Baeyers
Baeyer's reaction
When alkenes are oxidised with cold, alkaline KMnO4, dihydroxy compounds
(diols or glycols) are formed. The KMnO4 gets decolorized. This reaction is
therefore, used as Bayer's test for unsaturation (the presence of double or triple
bonds) in any molecule.

Ethene gives ethane-1,2-diol.

Bayer s test is to check the presence of double or triple bonds
