They are soluble in other solvents. Alkenes and alkanes are non-polar substances, which relates to the equidistant position of shared electrons in covalent bonding. Water is a polar substance because the oxygen component holds the electrons which are shared with hydrogen closer to its nucleus, and further from the hydrogen's nucleus.
Polar can mix with polar substances. Non-polar can mix with non-polar substances. Non-polar can NOT mix with polar substances.
Alkanes and alkenes can mix with each other, but not with water.

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.
Are alkenes saturated or unsaturated?
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons because they contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond, which results in the molecule having fewer hydrogen atoms compared to a saturated hydrocarbon with the same number of carbons.
What are the three main groups of hydrocarbons?
Anything ending with "...ane" (methane), "...ene" (benzene), "...yne" (ethyne), "...ol" (propanol), "...oic acid" (ethanoic acid). There are more, as there are tens of thousands of hydrocarbons.
Are all alkenes gases?
No, not all alkenes are gases. Alkenes can exist as gases, liquids, or solids depending on their molecular structure and size. For example, ethene (C2H4) is a gas at room temperature, while higher alkenes like octene (C8H16) are liquids.
Why is alkene more reactive than alkane?
because aldehyde has one Hydrogen attached to the C=O carbon where less steric hinderance is observed in comparison to ketone. Also, CH3 is an electron donating group where it stabilize an electron poor site but destabilize an electron rich site, hence, making the C=O carbon less electrophilic. When it is less electrophilic, the nucleophile is less likely to attack in a ketone than in aldehyde where a hydrogen is attached to the C=O carbon.
What is s soluble?
A substance which can dissolve in a solvent is said to be soluble in that solvent
