Ethene is an unsaturated compound.

Alkanes are also known as paraffins as the are very less reactive whereas Alkenes are known as olefins as they form oily liquids with halogens.

Alkanes =>

In alkanes, C atoms are linked by single bond.

Single bonds are very strong and do not decompose or break easily. That is why alkanes do not react very easily
