What are alkanes s nd alkenes soluble in?

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.
