Actually all hydrocarbons are not alkynes, but all alkynes are hydrocarbons. Alkynes contain carbon and hydrogen and hence they are known as hydrocarbons.
Why alkynes are called acetylenes?
alkynes are those hydrocabons wich have triple co alent bond among carbon atoms . The first member of alkyne series is known as acetylene.This is the sim;lest alkyne ,with molecular formula( C2H2).Alkynes are also called acetylenes because of the name of the first member of the series is actylene.

What is the term for an unsaturated hydrocarbon?
These compounds are alkenes and alkynes.
Do all alkynes have at least one cc double bond?
No, all alkynes have at least one Carbon-Carbon TRIPLE bond. Alkenes have one double bond.
How can you obtain cis and trans alkene from alkynes?
Add bulky groups on alkynes as iodination of alkynes which always give trans di-iodo products then substitution of iodine atoms with other groups produce other trans products for cis alkenes simply perform the controlled hydrogenation.
What are the pharmaceutical application of alkynes?
Alkynes are present in efavirenz, an HIV/AIDS treatment and preventative sold as Sustiva and other names, as well as the antifungal medication terbinafine (sold as Lamisil). Alkynes are also present in aggressive anti-tumor drugs. They used to be present in the contraceptive noretynodrel, which is no longer marketed.
Is Hydrogenation is used to convert alkenes and alkynes to alkanes?
True
What is the family of hydrocarbons that have at least one triple bod?
