Best Answer

An unsaturated hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon containing at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms.

An alkene is a hydrocarbon containing double bonds.

An alkyne is a hydrocarbon containing triple bonds.

Ethene, C2H4, is an example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a double bond.

ethyne (acetylene), C2H2 is an example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a triple bond. H-C=C-H

The names of unsaturated hydrocarbons that have a double bonds end with the suffix -ene.

The names of unsaturated hydrocarbons that have a triple bonds end with the suffix -yne.
