Solution

Dear Student,
Yess!! definitely we can make branched chain structures for alkenes and alkynes. But only one thing needs to be kept in mind the valency of carbon needs to be satisfied. we can make numerous structures (isomers) by changing the branching . But prefrably in alkenes the isomers are formed by difference in position of double bond
Regards!
