What does TRIENE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A member of the unsaturated hydrocarbon series carrying three double bonds, met in drying oils and in vitamin chemistry.
Chemists classify a triene by counting exactly three double bonds within its carbon chain or ring, following the same naming pattern used for compounds with one double bond, a diene with two, and so on upward. Trienes appear throughout organic chemistry and biochemistry, including in certain fatty acids and in molecules involved in vitamin metabolism, where the arrangement of the three double bonds affects the compound's shape and reactivity. The term describes a structural feature rather than naming one single specific substance.
