Answer 1

alkaline.

pls mark brainliest as i worked hard to answer you

Answer 2

Alkene can be easily oxidized.

Explanation:

• The one which can be easily oxidized among alkane or alkene or alkyne is alkenes.
• Alkenes react better in oxidation reactions than alkynes because of alkenes after undergoing oxidation form a stable compound which is known as ozonide.
• It is most stable in the case of alkenes hence oxidation is easiest in alkenes.
• Alkanes after oxidation yield carbon dioxide and water.
• As alkenes are less oxidized than alkynes, therefore, alkenes react more easily in oxidation reactions than alkynes.
