3. _______ - a hydrocarbon with at least one triple bond. 

4. _______ - a hydrocarbon with at least one double bond. 

5. The number for the double or triple bond in written _______ the parent chain name. 

6. True or False - Alkenes have the maximum number of hydrogen, that is why double bands are necessary.
