alleryUnsaturated hydrocarbons whose structure contains a carbon-carbon triple bond are called:
AArenes
BAlkenes
CAlkynes
DAlkanes
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Alkynes
1. Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain multiple carbon-carbon bonds.
2. Those with a carbon-carbon double bond are alkenes.
3. Those with a carbon-carbon triple bond are alkynes.
4. Rule out D: alkanes are saturated and have only single bonds.
