Answer: it is for a functional group alkyne (triple bond)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that aliphatic hydrocarbons are saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons have triple and double bonds in their structures.

Rule for naming alkyne: prefix+ root word+ suffix

Example, 2-butyne

Prefix- 2

Root word: but

Suffix- yne

2-butyne

Here yne is called as suffix.

Hope it will help you.
