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.

Why is ethene the smallest unsaturated hydrocarbon molecule?

Ethene may not be the smallest what about ethyne? Ethene, ethylene, is C2H4 Unsaturated hydrocarbon molecules contain double or triple bonds. The smallest will either be ethene C2H4 with one double bond, or ethyne , acetylene, HCCH with one triple bond. Ethyne wins, it has 2 less hydrogen atoms making it the LIGHTEST. Look at the structures in wikipedia and work out which is physically the smallest. I still go with ethyne. Wikipedia Ethene Wikipedia Ethyne
