Alkene vs Alkyne: Hydrocarbon Bonding

[ldv1452]

Would a hydrocarbon with both double and triple bonds be considered just an alkyne...or both an alkene and alkyne?

Both an alkene and an alkyne.

Both an alkene and an alkyne.

Thanks. Also, is an aromatic ring hydrocarbon with all single bonds considered saturated?

I don't think there is such a thing as an aromatic ring with all single bonds. One of the requirements for aromaticity is each atom having overlapping p orbitals on both sides, which results in double bonds.

So short answer, no.
