Answer:
Alkanes (the most basic of all organic compounds) undergo very few reactions. The two reactions of more importaces is combustion and halogenation, (i.e., substitution of a single hydrogen on the alkane for a single halogen) to form a haloalkane.
Explanation:
Alkenes undergo addition reactions, adding such substances as hydrogen, bromine, and water across the carbon-to-carbon double bond.
In that alkanes very rarely react while alkenes are highly reactive. Alkenes readily react with halides, alcohols, and hydrogen to name a few. Alkene bromination, or halogen addition reaction, is one of the more well know reactions because it is used to determine if an organic molecule is saturated or unsaturated.
