difference between alkanes and alkenes.name and draw the structure of one member of each
Answers
Answer:
hello buddy
Explanation:
Alkane:-
They are hydrocarbons which are joined by single bonds only. Thus called as saturated hydrocarbons They are less reactive in nature as the carbons bonds are stable.They are also called paraffins They are simplest of the hydrocarbons which have no functional groups attached to the carbon atoms. Some examples are Methane-
CH4
Ethane-
C2H6 etc. The general formula is CnH2n+2
.
Alkene:-
They are joined by at least one double bond between them.They are reactive in nature and are called as unsaturated hydrocarbons. Without the presence of any functional group they are called as olefin. They have pi bonds between the atoms which is generally the reason for their reactive nature. Some of the examples are Ethene-
C2H2
Propene-
C3H6
etc.Their general formula (not including cyclic compound) is
CnH2n

The most important difference between Alkanes and Alkenes is that :-
- Alkanes are single bond hydrocarbons while alkenes are double bond hydrocarbons.
- Alkanes are saturated while alkenes are unsaturated.
