If a molecule has 6 carbons and 12 hydrogens is it an alkane alkene or alkyne?

C6H12 may be an alkene or cycloalkane because both have the same general formula CnH2n .

Why alkene gives more soot than alkane?
Comparing ethane and ethene . there proportionally more hydrogens in ethane. Conversely there are proportionally more carbons in ethene. Ethane C:H:: 1:3 or 1/3 : 1 Ethene C:H :: 1:2 or 1/2 : 1 Since the fraction '1/2' > 1/3' then more carbon (soot).
Is it possible for an alkane to be an isomer of an alkene?
Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.
Is a 2-butene an alkane or an alkene or an alcohol?
2-butene is an alkene
Is cyclopentene an alkane alkene or alcohol?
Its a cycloalkene
What happens when a reaction take place between an alkene and alkane?
If alkene is straight chain and alkane has one tertiary carbon atom then alkylation of alkene takes place and a substituted alkane is produced.
What does the hydrogenation of an alkene gives?
two atoms of hydrogen add to the carbons in a double bond of an alkene to form an alkane.
A substance containing carbon?
hydro carbons like alkane alkene and akyne
Why alkene gives more soot than alkane?
Comparing ethane and ethene . there proportionally more hydrogens in ethane. Conversely there are proportionally more carbons in ethene. Ethane C:H:: 1:3 or 1/3 : 1 Ethene C:H :: 1:2 or 1/2 : 1 Since the fraction '1/2' > 1/3' then more carbon (soot).
Explain how the molecular structures of alkanes and alkenes differ?
an alkane does not have a double bond.... an alkene does have a double bond between carbons
Is it possible for an alkane to be an isomer of an alkene?
Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.
Is turpentine an alkane or alkene?
It is an alkene
Why can the cracking of an alkane into an alkene not be described as oxidation since the alkane loses two hydrogens?
Technically it can be described as oxidation. Technically it is an oxidation reaction, although I've never heard it described as "the oxidation of an alkane". Strange, since when an alkene is converted to an alkane by hydrogenation, we do hear it called "reduction of an alkene". Perhaps this is because the term "alkane oxidation" has been appropriated for the promising research into efficiently capturing energy by combining alkanes with oxygen at low temperatures.
Is a 2-butene an alkane or an alkene or an alcohol?
2-butene is an alkene
Is 1-nonene an alkane alkene or an alcohol?
alkene
Is 1 nonene alkane alkene or alcohol?
Alkene
Is cyclopentene an alkane alkene or alcohol?
Its a cycloalkene
Is 3-methyloctane an alkane an alkene or alcohol?
alkane
