$\LARGE\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{\red{Alkanes: }}}}$

Alkanes are organic compounds that consist entirely of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms and lack any other functional groups.

$\LARGE\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{\pink{Alkenes: }}}}$

Alkenes are a class of hydrocarbons (e.g, containing only carbon and hydrogen) unsaturated compounds with at least one carbon-to-carbon double bond. Another term used to describe alkenes is olefins.

$\LARGE\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{\purple{Alkynes: }}}}$

Alkynes are organic molecules made of the functional group carbon-carbon triple bonds and are written in the empirical formula of CnH2n−2. They are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
