Alkynes undergo many addition reactions such as: catalytic hydrogenation, addition by electrophilic reagents, hydration with tautomerism, hydroboration reactions, and oxidations. They also undergo nucleophilic addition reactions & reduction. Finally alkynes are the strongest bronsted acids made from only hydrocarbons.
Single bond
Formaldehye is H2C=O and has a double bond. The Carbon-oxygen bond is slightly polar and the carbon has partial positive charge and oxygen slightly negative charge. Hence formaldehyde will undergo nucleophilic addition addition reaction across the C=O.
Alkenes, or hydrocarbons with at least one double bond undergo an addition reaction when combined with bromine (Br2). The general reaction is H2C=CH2 --> H2BrC--CBrH2, and it occurs readily. This reaction is a good way to identify alkenes because bromine has a reddish color, while alkanes and alkenes are colorless. So if bromine is added to an unknown hydrocarbon, the disappearance of the color is an indication of the presence of a pi bond.

Alkanes like (methane, ethane, propane etc.) … They do not undergo addition reactions

Benzene undergo substitution reaction rather than addition?
Hydrocarbon compounds, that will undergo a combustion reaction (with O2) that is exothermic (produces heat). It is all potential energy until the reaction is started (activated with some kinetic energy in the form of heat...a flame).
red after adding hydrocarbon its blue
The primary difference is that an unsaturated hydrocarbon contains a C=C double bond allowing it to undergo addition reactions. Saturated hydrocarbons contain only C-C single bonds so only substitution and elimination can occur. The difference can be seen experimentally as an unsaturated hydrocarbon (eg ethene) will decolourise bromine water.
Alkenes, or hydrocarbons with at least one double bond undergo an addition reaction when combined with bromine (Br2). The general reaction is H2C=CH2 --> H2BrC--CBrH2, and it occurs readily.

A hydrocarbon and oxygen
The products of the hydrocarbon combustion are water and carbon dioxide.
