These are called alk'ene's, comparative to alkanes, the fully saturated hydrocarbons.
There is also a special group of unsaturated (poly)-cyclic hydrocarbons, all with 6n carbon atoms: there generic name is ar'ene's: eg. benzene, naphtalene

A hydrocarbon that has one or more double or triple bonds is what?
at least a double bond is an alkene at least a triple bond is an alkyne i believe...
Example of unsaturated hydrocarbon?
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.
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 does Unsaturated mean when Alkenes are involved?
That at least one double bond exists
Does saturated hydrocarbons contain one carbon to carbon double bond?
no only saturated oils have double bonds i hope i answered your question correctly *****************2nd Opinion************** Yes, unsaturated oils can accept more hydrogen atoms into their structure, by virtue of having at least one double bond. Yes, unsaturated oils have at least one double bond.
What is actively unsaturated hydrocarbon?
Hydrocarbon is a compound. Unsaturated hydrocarbon refers to the hydrocarbon containing at the least, a double or triple bond. Acetic acid is an example of a hydrocarbon.

What makes fat saturate or unsaturated?
Unsaturated fats have at least one double bond in one of the fatty acids. Saturated fats have no double bonds.

That at least one double bond exists
Distinguish between a saturated and an unsaturated fat and list some unique emergent properties that are a consequence of these structural differences?
A fat is saturated when all of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains are bonded to at least two hydrogens. A fat is unsaturated when there is at least one double bond between carbons in the fatty acid chains, and it is polyunsaturated when there are multiple double bonds. The hydrocarbon chains of polyunsaturated fats bend at the places where there are double bonds and this causes them to have low melting points - the fat molecules do not align close together.
How do you know if a lipid is saturated?
To be a saturated fat, the lipid has no double bonds. If it has at least one double bond, the lipid is an unsaturated fat.
What is the term for an unsaturated hydrocarbon with at least one double carbon-carbon bond?
That's one of the alkyne series: ethyn (HCCH), propyn (HCC-CH3), 1-butyn (CHC-CH2CH3) and 2-butyn (CH3-CC-CH3), etc.
What is the name of an organic compound that contains carbon hydrogen and at least one triple covalent bond?
Unsaturated when there is at least one double or triple bond between 2 carbon atoms.
When a fat molecules carbon chain is bonded to hydrogen atoms is it saturated polyunsaturated dehydrogenated or polymerized?
providing that thee are no double bonds (which i think you are trying to say) it is saturated. unsaturated means that there is at least 1 double bond polyunsaturated means that there are at least 2 double bonds dehydrogenated means that is is either unsaturated or polyunsaturated since hydrogen was removed forcing double bonds to form polymerized means that 2 unsaturated carbon chains bonded to each other in order to get rid of the strained double or triple bond ( this can only happen to unsaturated compounds) you can determine weather or not it is unsaturated by determining if the number of hydrogen atoms is less than (number carbon)2 + 2 , if it is less than it is unsaturated.
