Question

Explain alkane alkene alkyne in simple words.

Answer 1

alkane is the series of saturated hydrocarbons and has only single bond.

alkene is the series of unsaturated hydrocarbons and has double bond and single bond both

alkyne is also the series of unsaturated hydrocarbons and has triple bond and single bond both.


hope this helps :-)

Answer 2

Alkane -It is a saturated hydrocarbon. In this carbon is connected with single bond. Its general formula is CnH2n+2

Alkene -It is unsaturated hydrocarbon. In this there is double bond between 2 carbon. Its general formula is CnH2n

Alkyne -It is unsaturated hydrocarbon. In this there is triple bond between 2 carbon. Its general formula is CnH2n-2
