The periodic table, physical constants and relative atomic masses needed for these problems are given on the inside covers of chemistry, fourth edition by c. Hydrocarbons with only cc single bonds are known as saturated hydrocarbons. Different energy and geometry changes may be required for additions to an alkyne and an alkene so some surprising outcomes may occur with alkynes.
