Unsaturated hydrocarbons include the alkenes c n h 2n in which there is at least one carboncarbon double bond.
Higher alkenes and alkynes are named by counting the number of carbons in the longest continuous chain that includes the double or triple bond and appending an ene alkene or yne alkyne suffix to the stem name of the. Hydrocarbon nomenclature of alkenes and alkynes britannica. In contrast, aliphatic hydrocarbons lack this delocalization. Though trivial names are not recommended, iupac rules allow their use with common aromatic compounds, such as methylbenzene toluene, hydroxybenzene phenol, and aminobenzene. Historically, benzenelike substances were called aromatic hydrocarbons because they had distinctive aromas. However, benzene does undergo addition reactions in contrast to unsaturated hydrocarbons, although it mainly undergoes substitution reactions. Unfortunately, this book cant be printed from the openbook.

Short summary of iupac nomenclature of organic compounds. Alkanes, hydrocarbons, class 11 the acyclic saturated hydrocarbons are called paraffins since they are relatively unreactive towards most of the reagents such as acids, bases oxidizing and reducing agents. By definition, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have multiple cycles, precluding benzene from being considered a pah.
