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
at least a double bond is an alkene at least a triple bond is an alkyne i believe...
An example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon is ethene (C2H4), which contains a double bond between two carbon atoms. This double bond leads to fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbons compared to saturated hydrocarbons like ethane (C2H6).
A hydrocarbon must have at least one multiple bond (double or triple bond) to be classified as unsaturated. This bond gap allows the hydrocarbon to form additional bonds, making it more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons.
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.
A saturated hydrocarbon is one where all the carbon atoms are bonded to four other atoms. An unsaturated hydrocarbon is one where some of the carbon atoms aren't (an example being an alkene due to the carbon carbon double bond).

alkene
An actively unsaturated hydrocarbon is a compound that contains double or triple bonds between carbon atoms, making it reactive and prone to undergo addition reactions. These compounds are commonly involved in organic reactions due to their high reactivity.
An unsaturated hydrocarbon is a type of hydrocarbon molecule that contains at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond. This means that the molecule does not have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms bonded to each carbon atom. Examples include alkenes and alkynes.
An example of an unsaturated hydrocarbon is ethene (C2H4), which contains a double bond between two carbon atoms. This double bond leads to fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbons compared to saturated hydrocarbons like ethane (C2H6).
A hydrocarbon must have at least one multiple bond (double or triple bond) to be classified as unsaturated. This bond gap allows the hydrocarbon to form additional bonds, making it more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons.
No, methane is actually the simplest saturated hydrocarbon as it consists of single carbon and four hydrogen atoms. Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond, such as ethylene (C2H4) or acetylene (C2H2).
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.
That's one of the alkyne series: ethyn (HCCH), propyn (HCC-CH3), 1-butyn (CHC-CH2CH3) and 2-butyn (CH3-CC-CH3), etc.
A saturated hydrocarbon is one where all the carbon atoms are bonded to four other atoms. An unsaturated hydrocarbon is one where some of the carbon atoms aren't (an example being an alkene due to the carbon carbon double bond).
Unsaturated fats have at least one double bond in one of the fatty acids. Saturated fats have no double bonds.
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons because they contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond, which results in the molecule having fewer hydrogen atoms compared to a saturated hydrocarbon with the same number of carbons.
