**Alkynes** contain **at least** one carbon-carbon triple bond and are named with a prefix with the total number of carbon atoms and "-ene".

!!! warning
|
||||
The lack of standardisation prior to IUPAC means that some IUPAC names have common names that are still widely used today.

- acetylene: **ethyne**
|
||||
- vinyl: **propene**
|
||||
- ethylene: **ethene**
|

The general formula for an **acyclic** hydrocarbon with no rings is as follows, where $n$ is the number of carbon atoms, $x$ is the number of double bonds, and $y$ is the number of triple bonds.
