Unsaturated hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain carbon atoms with at least one double or triple bond. Alkenes, characterized by the general formula CnH2n, include structures with at least one double bond, and their names typically end in –ene. Examples include 3-ethyl-1-pentene and 1,3-butadiene. Alkynes have the general formula CnH2n-2, containing at least one triple bond, and are named with an ending of –yne. Examples include 2-pentyne and 3-ethyl-3-methyl-1-hexyne. This guide explores their structures and naming conventions.
