What is the same for butene and hexene?

Yes, both are alkenes, meaning the both contain a double bond.


Are alkenes hydrocarbons?

Yes, since hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, and alkenes fit this description. More specifically, alkenes contain at least one C to C double bond (but no triple bonds) and their general formula is CnH2n+2


What is the similitries between Alkanes Alkenes and Alkynes?

Alkanes have single bonds while Alkenes have double bonds.CnH2n+2 is the general formula for alkanes.CnH2n is the general formula for alkenes.


What are the Chemical equations to distinguish between alkane and alkene?

Alkenes have a double bond between the carbon atoms (C=C) whereas alkanes have a single bond (C-C). so alkenes are unsaturated compounds, add aqueous solution of Bromine or KMnO4 to both the compounds the decolourization of these reagents confirms the presence of alkenes.


Does hydrogen contain chlorine?

No. Both chlorine and hydrogen are elements. Elements cannot contain other elements.


Do alkanes react with hydrogen?

Alkanes are not really reactive if you compare them to alkenes or alkines. They don't have double or triple bonds, they only have single bonds between their C-atoms so they aren't as reactive as alkenes or alkines. Alkanes are pretty stable since they don't have clouds of delocalised electrons as arenes do. Typical reactions for alkanes are pyrolysis, oxidation and substitution When it comes to substitution, they can substitute one of their C-atoms with a halogen, and the products of that reaction are halogen-hydrogen and halogenalkane For instance, Butane + Cl2 --> Clorobutane + HCl


What are examples of organic compound?

All organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen. Examples are methane CH4, ethene C2H4, propanol C3H5OH and glucose C6H12O6.Organic compounds must contain both carbon and hydrogen. Carbohydrates are organic compounds. Glucose and starches are examples of carbohydrates.Sugar and Alcohol.


Is hydrogen in oxygen?

No. Hydrogen an oxygen are both elements. Elements do not contain other elements.


Does carbon contain nitrogen?

No. Carbon and nitrogen are both elements. They contain only themselves.


Is methyl octane alcohol alkane or alkenes?

Alcohol is an Oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbonyl group. As such, there is no such thing as 'Methyl Octane Alcohol'. However, there is Methyl Alcohol and Octyl Alcohol. Please edit your question. Also: If you are asking if Methyl Alcohol is miscible (dissoluble) in octane, it is. Alkanes are hydrocarbons only, so both octane and the methyl group in methanol (methyl alcohol) are alkanes.


Make a sentence with the word plain?

Elements can contain plain text, other elements, or both.
