The addition of hydrogen on alkenes produces the alkanes so it is a reduction process.
no
Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.
2-butene is an alkene
Its a cycloalkene
If alkene is straight chain and alkane has one tertiary carbon atom then alkylation of alkene takes place and a substituted alkane is produced.
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.

Alkene + Cl2 or Br2 --> Adducts (addition products) dichloor alkane, dibroom alkane
