An Alkene is a type of hydrocarbon that has at least one double bond. An Alkane is triple bond, because the bond is made up of five different elements. When this is created two of the weaker elements are destroyed (sulphur, magnesium) which corresponds with the answer.

Do alkanes have double bonds double bonds?
no alkane contains only single bond.
How many double covalent bonds are in an alkane?
None. The property of all alkanes is that they contain only C-H single bonds and C-C single bonds. If a compound contains double C to C bonds it is classified as an alkene not an alkane.
Do Alkenes have carbon-carbon double bonds?
Alkanes have a single bond, and Alkenes have a double bond. The general form for Alkenes is CnH(2n)
What Contains carbon atoms with four single covalent bonds?
alkanes.
Which series contains only substances with single covalent bonds?
Alkanes
Do alkanes have double bonds double bonds?
no alkane contains only single bond.
Hydrocarbons which have only single bonds between carbon atoms?
All alkanes have single bonds.They consist of single bonds.
What type of bonds do alkanes contain?
single only- apex
What are the types of bond present in alkanes alkenes and alkynes?
Alkanes have only single carbon-carbon bond.Alkenes have min. a double carbon-carbon bond.Alkynes have min. a triple carbon-carbon bond.
What organic compound that contains only single bonds?
Saturated aliphatic compounds or alkanes have only C-C single bonds.
How many double covalent bonds are in an alkane?
None. The property of all alkanes is that they contain only C-H single bonds and C-C single bonds. If a compound contains double C to C bonds it is classified as an alkene not an alkane.
Do Alkenes have carbon-carbon double bonds?
Alkanes have a single bond, and Alkenes have a double bond. The general form for Alkenes is CnH(2n)
What is alkanes and alkenes?
The difference between an alkane and an alkene is that: Alkanes have only single bonds between carbon atoms and are said to be saturated: when put in bromine water, the bromine water stays orange - formula: CnH2n+2; Alkenes: have one or more double bond(s) between carbon atoms and are unsaturated: when put in bromine water, the bromine water turns clear - formula: CnH2n.
What are straight chain or branch chain hydrocarbons called in which all the bonds between carbon atoms are single covalent bonds?
With no double or triple bonds, they are called "saturated".
Is an aldehyde saturated or unsaturated?
Alkanes have single bonds only and are therefore saturated. A hydrocarbon is unsaturated if there are multiple bonds or rings within the compound. Alkenes contain double bonds, alkynes contain triple bonds, and cycloalkanes contain rings; these are unsaturated hydrocarbons. But alkanes are saturated.
Which series contains only substances with single covalent bonds?
Alkanes
What Contains carbon atoms with four single covalent bonds?
alkanes.
