Sure, why not. Many ways. Try drawing some. 1 double bond. 2. 3. 4. Go look up carotene.More

Yes, there is a general formula for a triene, it is CnH2n-4. You should look into degrees of unsaturation (sometimes called double bond equivalents) for further clarity as to how you would calculate the general formulae for many different types of compounds.More

Yes that exists, and the most common alkatriene is benzene with the formula C6H6. Linear alkenes exists as well such as 1,3,5-hexatriene with formula C6H8. There are many others as well.

I wonder whether a benzene molecule would appreciate being called a tri-ene. Sorta misses the point.More

Thank you for your answer. So there is no general formula for them? Like in Alkane's CnH2n+2.More
