Hey, so this question came up whilst I was revising my POM. Can there be a hydrocarbon with more than one type of bond. E.g. A hydrocarbon with a single bond as well as a double bond, or a hydrocarbon with a triple bond and a double bond, or any combination, etc. And if so, how would it be named because the current system bases the ending of the name of a hydrocarbon on it's highest bond. (e.g. single bond = ane, double = ene, triple = yne). So would it be named after the highest bond, or would there be something in the name to let you know there are other bonds in the compound?
is there such thing as a hydrocarbon with single, double or triple bond (1 Viewer)

Yes, definitely. Ethene, for example, has one double bond and four single bonds.
