Answer:
Alkynes are saturated hydrocarbons
Explanation:
Alkynes are groups of hydrocarbons that have the general formula of {Cn H2n - 2}. They have a triple carbon to carbon bond (C≡C) in their structure. Ethyne (HC≡CH) is the first member of the alkyne series.
Alkynes like alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons because of their triple and double carbon bonds respectively. Unsaturated hydrocarbons do not have a complete hydrogen atom in their structural composition. Hence, the statement that "Alkynes are saturated hydrocarbons" is FALSE.
