contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds.
They have ${sp}^{2}$ hybridized carbons.
These include alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbon.
They are more reactive than saturated hydrocarbons.
For example,
Name
Formula
1-butene $C_{4} H_{8} ({CH}_{2} = {CHCH}_{2} {CH}_{3})$
Ethyne $C_{2} H_{2} (HC = CH)$
Benzene $C_{6} H_{6}$ ()
