Answer:
Alkanes have no pi-bonds between carbon atoms. They only have a sp3-sp3 hybridised orbital bonding (sigma bond). ... This entails more energy, so Alkanes are the least reactive among the three. This also explains why Alkynes and Alkenes undergo addition reactions, while Alkanes only undergo substitution reaction
