An organic hydrocarbon compound with ten carbon atoms and a triple bond between two carbons, belonging to the alkyne family.
From dec- (ten) + -yne (suffix indicating a triple bond between carbons). Follows standard chemical nomenclature for highly unsaturated compounds.
Decynes are incredibly reactive because that triple bond is like a coiled spring ready to unleash energy—chemists use them to create complex molecules!
