Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons.
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with atleast one carbon-carbon double bond.
Alkynes are more acidic than alkenes and alkanes. Alkenes are more acidic than alkanes.
Bromine water can differentiate between alkanes and alkenes because alkenes can decolourize bromine water due to their ability to undergo addition reactions. Alkanes, being saturated hydrocarbons, do not react with bromine water because they lack double bonds to facilitate the addition reaction.
Alkenes have at least one double bond between two carbon atoms; alkanes don't.
alkanes
When an alkane is cracked, alkenes and shorter alkanes are produced.
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).
Saturated oils and waxes are all types of alkanes and alkenes The Ice man ;) Call me ladies... ;')
alkanes have single covalent bons, alkenes have double :) lol did this while doing chem homework myself
cracking maybe?
The remaining mixture of alkanes and alkenes is discarded into water to separate the alkenes from the alkanes because alkenes are soluble in sulfuric acid and can undergo electrophilic addition reactions, while alkanes do not react with sulfuric acid. Water helps to extract the alkenes, allowing for a clearer separation of the components. Furthermore, this process minimizes the risk of unwanted reactions and ensures that only the reactive alkenes interact with sulfuric acid.

Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes...
