WHAT DOES ALKYNE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Alkyne

In organic chemistry, an alkyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon which has at least one carbon—carbon triple bond between two carbon atoms. The simplest acyclic alkynes with only one triple bond and no other functional groups form a homologous series with the general chemical formula CnH2n-2. Alkynes are traditionally known as acetylenes, although the name acetylene also refers specifically to C2H2, known formally as ethyne using IUPAC nomenclature. Like other hydrocarbons, alkynes are generally hydrophobic but tend to be more reactive.

Definition of alkyne in the English dictionary

The definition of alkyne in the dictionary is any unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon that has a formula of the type CnH2n–2.
