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?
No, they are unsaturated as they contain double bonds

Why ethyne is acidic in nature?
alkynes are sp hybridized.Due to greater s character carbon becomes partially negative and it attracts electron of hydrogen.As a result hydrogen becomes partially postive.To acquire electrons hydrogen leaves carbon and attaches with other molecules.such as CH=CH+NaNH2 = CH=CNA + NH3
