How are alkanes alkenes and alkynes similar How are they different from each other?

Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes are all hydrocarbons.
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with single bonds and a general formula of CnH2n+2 (general formula for cycloalkanes is different)
Alkenes are hydrocarbons that have the general formula CnH2n and contain a carbon-carbon double bond.
Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon triple bond with general formula C2H2n-2
so that's how they're different. The super obvious thing that makes them similar is their IUPAC nomenclature. That's the basics of it.

Is there a chart similar to the periodic table but for molecules sorting them by properties?
chemical are classifed by structure. In organic chemistry, acids, alkanes alkenes alkyenes, et. ect. These are all classifed by structural similiarites, because of these similiarities, compounds have similar behavior, alls acids do similar things, all alkanes react in similar ways as other alkanes do. et. ect.
