Question

What is alken alkane and alkyne

Answer 1

Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are simple hydrocarbon chains with no functional groups. Alkanes are identified because the carbon chain has only single bonds. ... Alkenes have at least one double bond and alkynes have at least one triple bond. The most common alkyne is ethyne, better known as acetylene.

They are mostly used for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. The alkanes which have a higher number of carbon atoms are used for surfacing roads. Alkenes or unsaturated hydrocarbons are formed by double or triple bonding between carbon atoms. They are used for manufacturing of plastic or plastic products.

Answer 2

Answer:

Alkene : Series of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a double bond, including ethylene and propene.

Alkane : An acyclic saturated hydrocarbon. In other words, an alkane consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a tree structure in which all the carbon–carbon bonds are single. Alkanes have the general chemical formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂.

Alkyne : series of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a triple bond, including acetylene.
