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.

A saturated straight-chain hydrocarbon with two carbons is?

Saturated hydrocarbon means that it does not have triple or double bonds between carbon atoms. An unsaturated hydrocarbon will have triple or double, or both types of bonds between carbons. You can saturate the unsaturated hydrocarbon by adding hydrogen atoms through a given reaction. -CH=CH- + H2 -----> -CH2-CH2- Saturation does not have to be with hydrogen, it can be with chlorine, Cl2, for example.
