Hey dear
Here is ur answer

Alkanes are hydrocarbons (compounds containing only C and H) that have single covalent bonds joining the carbon atoms. The molecular formula of all alkanes fits the expression [math]C_{n}H_{2n+2}[/math], where n is the number of carbon atoms.

Alkenes are hydrocarbons (compounds containing only C and H) that have one or more C=C double bonds (two C atoms are linked by 4 shared electrons). The general formula is [math]C_{n}H_{2n}[/math], which is two hydrogen atoms less than the corresponding alkane.

Compared to alkanes, alkenes can undergo a larger range of chemical reactions such as combustion and various addition reactions( hydrogenation, addition polymerisation, hydration etc).
Hope it helps u
Have a great day
All the best for your exam

dishantsinghom: awesome!!!! u copied and pasted from internet
BinduShreep: have saw
dishantsinghom: ??
BinduShreep: already i have prepared for today's exam
BinduShreep: haven't u prepared?
BinduShreep: l think u tried to copy from Internet
BinduShreep: alkenes are double bonded
hankeevai: Ok fine yes I copied because I answered it in that website and copying the answers which I wrote in another website is not wrong I guess
BinduShreep: all best
hankeevai: Thanks :-/

alkane are single bonded where as alkene are double bonded.
the general formula of alkane is CnH2n+2
and the general formula of alkene is
CnH2n-2

hankeevai: That's OK just go and rock ur exam all the best both of u rock ur exams
hankeevai: No sorrys between friends now
dishantsinghom: thanks....
hankeevai: Ur welcome
