Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with atleast one carbon-carbon double bond.
Bromine water can test the difference between alkanes and alkenes because the bromine water turns colourless for the alkenes but doesnt change for the alkanes.
Alkenes have at least one double bond between two carbon atoms; alkanes don't.
alkanes
alkanes have single covalent bons, alkenes have double :) lol did this while doing chem homework myself
Saturated oils and waxes are all types of alkanes and alkenes The Ice man ;) Call me ladies... ;')
They are. The only difference in name is that alkanes ends with -ane, alkenes end with -ene. Also, the alkane with the least carbon is methane (CH4) but the alkene with the least carbon is ethene (C2H4).
cracking maybe?
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes...
alkenes and alkanes
It is an alkane.
When an alkane is cracked, alkenes and shorter alkanes are produced.
Alkanes have a single bond, and Alkenes have a double bond. The general form for Alkenes is CnH(2n)
