at least a double bond is an alkene
at least a triple bond is an alkyne
i believe...

How are unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbon different?
Saturated hydrocarbon cannot bond with compounds anymore, where as unsaturated hydrocarbons can bond, as they contain double or triple bonds. When they bond, the double and triple bonds break and new separate single bonds are formed with hydrogens or any other external compounds.
What is an alkene?
Apex- A hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond
Does an organic compound have double or single covalent bonds?
Yes organic molecules can have single bonds, double bonds and triple bonds. Larger molecules, more than two carbons, always have single bonds and may have double and triple.
What is it called when one or more of the bonds between the carbons of a hydrocarbon are double bonds and it is missing two or more hydrogen atoms?
unsaturated lets go raiders
What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated bonds?
If a compound is saturated, this means that every bonding site is occupied by an element or an electron pair, and the compound doesn't want any more bonds. For example, saturated fats are hard to break down because there are no bonding sites. If a compound is unsaturated, this means it can still make bonds because open bonding sites are readily available. For an individual bond to be saturated, it can only be a SINGLE bond. Double, or triple bonds are not considered saturated.

Suffix for hydrocarbon?
For hydrocarbons with one or more single bonds between carbon atoms, the molecules are called alkanes, and the suffix is "-ane".With one or more double bonds, these molecules are called alkenes the suffix is "-ene".With one or more triple bonds, the molecules are called alkynes, and the suffix is "-yne".

Yes organic molecules can have single bonds, double bonds and triple bonds. Larger molecules, more than two carbons, always have single bonds and may have double and triple.
What bonds restrict rotation about the axis of double or triple bonds?
Double and triple bonds restrict the rotation around the axis of the bond, resulting in more rigid molecules. These are typically known as Pi bonds.

Which bond is more stable single bond or double bond?
The double bond is more stable, because it requires more energy to break two bonds , than to break one bond. Triple bonds require more energy again and hence are more stable. Singlw bond H-H Double bond C=C Triple bond N///N
Do saturated fatty acids contain a carboxyl group?
No double bonds. A saturated fat has hydrocarbon chains that are close together. An unsaturated fat contains double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains which makes a kink in the chain. This makes them sit farther apart and thus more liquid than saturated hydrocarbons.
Why double bond is more reactive then triple bond?
because when there is a double bond, there is a Pi bond involved. and Pi bonds are weaker than sigma bonds (which are in single bonds) WRONG. While it is true that Pi bonds are weaker than Sigma bonds, double bonds (C = C) contain BOTH Pi and Sigma bonds making double bonds stronger than single bonds (which contain only a Sigma bond) overall.
What are formed from fatty acids with one or more pairs of carbon atoms linked by double or triple bonds?
unsaturated fats
Fatty acids containing at least one double or triple covalent bond is called?
These fatty acids are called saturated fats. These are often some of the worst fats for the body.
