If a hydrocarbon burns in a plentiful suppply of oxygen it will produce carbon dioxide and water, which is fine. However, if it does not burn in a plentiful supply of oxygen, it will produce carbon monoxide, which is poisonous to humans. In addition, the lower hydrocarbons are very highly flammable and can be explosive, and many are toxic and can be absorbed through the skin or lungs.

Is Hydrogenation is used to convert alkenes and alkynes to alkanes?
True
Why benzene cannot decolourize KMnO4 while alkenes can decolorize?
KMnO4 will add across the double bond of alkenes (or alkynes) resulting in the docolouring of KMnO4 but not an alkane such as ethane.
What compound decolourizes bromine water?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons such as alkenes and alkynes will decolourize bromine water.
Is an alkane polar or nonpolar?
Alkynes are polar, slightly more than alkanes or alkenes, due to electron density at their triple bond. However, liquid alkynes are non-polar solvents.
How can you obtain cis and trans alkene from alkynes?
Add bulky groups on alkynes as iodination of alkynes which always give trans di-iodo products then substitution of iodine atoms with other groups produce other trans products for cis alkenes simply perform the controlled hydrogenation.
Another word for aliphatic?
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes...

Is cholesterol an acid or an alcohol or alkenes or alkynes?
An alcohol, but it has cyclic rings and double bond.
Why benzene cannot decolourize KMnO4 while alkenes can decolorize?
KMnO4 will add across the double bond of alkenes (or alkynes) resulting in the docolouring of KMnO4 but not an alkane such as ethane.
What Compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen are .?
They can be alkanes,alkenes and alkynes. They are commonly called hydrocarbons.
What compound decolourizes bromine water?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons such as alkenes and alkynes will decolourize bromine water.
Do all alkynes have at least one cc double bond?
No, all alkynes have at least one Carbon-Carbon TRIPLE bond. Alkenes have one double bond.
