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

∙ 14y agoHydrocarbons can be both alkanes and alkenes. Any binary compound of carbon and hydrogen is called a hydrocarbon. Since both alkanes and alkenes are binary compounds of carbon and hydrogen, they are hydrocarbons.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAlkynes are hydrocarbons because they contain only carbon and hydrogen. They have the general formula CnH2n-2.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. They consist exclusively of carbon and hydrogen atoms, with only single bonds between carbon atoms.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes, they are said to be 'saturated' hydrocarbons.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoYes. An alkyne is a hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon-carbon triple bond.

What are the three categories of unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are alkenes and alkynes.
What are the double and triple bonded hydrocarbons called?
double bonded hydrocarbons are called "alkenes" and triple bonded hydrocarbons are called "alkynes"
In Chemistry what does Alkenes mean?
Alkenes are hydrocarbons containing carbon-carbon double bonds. There are several different names for alkenes. Some examples are butane, pentene and octadiene.
Why are alkenes from alcohols not used on an industrial scale?
Since alcohols are obtained by hydration of alkenes, it is meaningless to manufacture alkenes from alkanes. Moreover, cracking hydrocarbons is a more effective and economical to make alkenes. Shawkat
What are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms?
Many compounds are composed of only carbon and hydrogen. These are the core of the group called hydrocarbons. They include compounds such as:methaneoctanepentanebenzenetoluenexylene
What is the difference of alkanes and alkenes?
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with atleast one carbon-carbon double bond.
What are the three categories of unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are alkenes and alkynes.
Which two things are needed to crack hydrocarbons?
Heat and Alkenes

What is an example of covalent?
all hydrocarbons like alkanes, alkenes etc
What are the major types of organization?
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons
What are the different types of hydrocarbons in terms of its chemical properties?
hydrocarbons (arenes), alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes and alkyne-based compounds are different types of hydrocarbons.
What are the major types of organic molecules?
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons
What are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms?
Many compounds are composed of only carbon and hydrogen. These are the core of the group called hydrocarbons. They include compounds such as:methaneoctanepentanebenzenetoluenexylene
What are three kinds of hydrocarbons?
There are many types of hydrocarbons including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aryl compounds, cyclic compounds etc.
