Question

The primary suffix for $C$ $\equiv$ $C$ bond is:

• A. -yne
• B. -ane
• C. -ene
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A -yne

In unsaturated carbon compounds, a triple bond is written as alkyne with the primary suffix -yne like ethyne, propyne, etc.
for alkane, we use the suffix-ane.
for alkene, we use the suffix-ene.
