Summary
Aliphatic hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons based on chains of C atoms, divided into three types: alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Alkanes are hydrocarbons with only single covalent bonds
1
, alkenes contain at least one C–C double bond
1
, and alkynes contain a C–C triple bond.

Aliphatic compounds can be saturated, like hexane

, or unsaturated, like hexene and hexyne.

Open-chain compounds, whether straight or branched, and which contain no rings of any type, are always aliphatic.

Summary
In organic chemistry, hydrocarbons arranged in open chains. Compound structures composed mainly of carbon chains are divided into two classes: aromatic compounds (cyclic chains - i.e. "rings") or aliphatic compounds (open chains - either straight or branched) (/ˌælɪˈfætɪk/; G. aleiphar, fat, oil). Aliphatic compounds can be saturated, like hexane, or unsaturated, like hexene and hexyne. Open-chain compounds, whether straight or branched, and which contain no rings of any type, are always aliphatic. Cyclic compounds can be aliphatic if they are not aromatic.

An aliphatic compound is a hydrocarbon compound containing carbon and hydrogen joined together in straight chains, branched trains or non-aromatic rings. Aliphatic compounds may be saturated (e.g., hexane and other…
