Alkanes are the simplest organic compounds consist of only hydrogen and carbon bonded with only single bonds between carbon atoms. The general chemical formula of alkanes is calculated by CnH2n+2. Alkanes are also called as saturated hydrocarbon which includes monocyclic or polycylic molecule.
There are three types of chemical structure of alkanes known such as linear, branched, and cyclic alkanes.
Linear alkanes should have the carbons bonded together in a chain-like structure, which is similar to a snake or rope. The following are some examples for linear alkanes.

Answer:
Acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon double bond are called alkenes .
They are also called olefins(Greek:olefiant=oil foaming) change the lower members of this class such as ethene(Ethylene) , propyne(propylene), etc . produce oily products on reaction with halogen such as chlorine and bromine.
(some examples of alkene are shown in attachment with their structures)
