two atoms of hydrogen add to the carbons in a double bond of an alkene to form an alkane.

Pt and Pd can be used as catalyst in the hydrogenation of alkenes or (de)hydrogenation of hydrocarbons (cracking in petrol industry)
C4H8 may be an alkene, Butene or methyl propene and may be a cycloalkane, cyclobutane or methyl cyclopropane.
hydrogenation of 2-methylpropanal gives
Quinoline "poisons" the Lindlar catalyst, thereby enhancing its selectivity. This prevents the hydrogenation reaction from going from the alkyne to the alkane, and instead from the alkyne to the alkene.
Alkene
... addition reaction; the hydrogen molecule is split, one of its atoms is added to each carbon atom that is initially double bonded, and an alkene becomes an alkane. --- ... known as hydrogenation.

It is an alkene
Technically it can be described as oxidation. Technically it is an oxidation reaction, although I've never heard it described as "the oxidation of an alkane". Strange, since when an alkene is converted to an alkane by hydrogenation, we do hear it called "reduction of an alkene". Perhaps this is because the term "alkane oxidation" has been appropriated for the promising research into efficiently capturing energy by combining alkanes with oxygen at low temperatures.
