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.


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.


Is it possible for an alkane to be an isomer of an alkene?

Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.
