Which type of bond is generally present in unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A carbon–carbon double bond or triple bond
An unsaturated hydrocarbon contains at least one carbon–carbon double bond \\(\mathrm{C=C}\\) or triple bond \\(\mathrm{C\equiv C}\\). Alkenes have a double bond and alkynes have a triple bond, so option A is correct. Hydrocarbons containing only carbon–carbon single bonds are saturated hydrocarbons; therefore, option B is not correct.
