The difference is the bonds between the first pair of carbons.
A Carbon atom requires 4 bonds in a molecule.
In Propane, the three carbons have 1 bond between each of them, and the rest of their bonds are used for hydrogen, resulting in a C3H8 molecule.
In Propene, the first 2 carbons will have a double bond, resulting in 2 less hydrogens in the molecule, C3H6.
The difference between alkanes and alkenes are that a double bond is shared between a pair of the carbon atoms. In pro-2-ene, this would be the 2nd and 3rd carbon sharing a double bond. In just propene, it's the 1st and 2nd.

∙ 11y agoPropene, because it is unsaturated- it has the ability to join with other atoms due to the fact that it has a double bond ( carbon) which can open up to react with the halogens. Where as propane is saturated and his fairly unreactive.

Propane is a 3-carbon alkane. The chemical formula is of propane is C3H8. There isn't but one molecule structure for propane. In that respect, there is only one type of propane. It has no isomers. There may be differences in the purity of the commercial product, some having higher or lower concentration of propane. There are also numerous producers of propane.
