Expert Answer:
We can also include alkene, alkynes in the category of functional group. Functional grop can act with alkene and alkynes also.
The simplest hydrocarbon chain is alkane, when double bond attaches to it, it becomes alkene and if triple bond is attached to it, it becomes alkynes.
However, in alkene or alkyne chain, another functional group may get attached.
For example
CH2=CH-CH2-OH
Whose IUPAC name is Prop-3-en-1-ol
or
CH≡C-CH2OH
Whose IUPAC is Prop-3-yn-1-ol
