Alkane: -ane. C-C interaction has single bond

Alkene: -ene. C-C interaction has double bond

Alkyne: -yne. C-C interaction has triple bond

Least reactive alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, while alkene and alkyne not. Alkanes undergo susbstitution reaction while others under go addition reactions rather.

Alkanes rule is CnH2n+2 while alkene CnH2n and alkyne CnH2n-2.

What are the key differences between an alkane, alkene, and alkyne in terms of their chemical structures and reactivity?

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with single bonds, alkene have double bonds, and alkynes have triple bonds. Alkanes are the least reactive, while alkenes and alkynes are more reactive due to the presence of double and triple bonds, respectively. Alkenes can undergo addition reactions, while alkynes can undergo both addition and elimination reactions.


Why ratio of c to H in aromatic compounds is less then alkanes?

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 Hydrogenation is used to convert alkenes and alkynes to alkanes?

Yes, hydrogenation is a chemical reaction process in which hydrogen is added across a double or triple bond in alkenes and alkynes to produce alkanes. This reaction is commonly used in the food industry to convert unsaturated fats into saturated fats.
