In your own word, differentiate alkane from alkene and alkyne.


Sagot :

The alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons—that is, hydrocarbons that contain only single bonds. Alkenes contain one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. Alkynes contain one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds.

Answer:

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons; meaning a single bond between the carbon atoms; alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons meaning one or more double bonds between carbon atoms; Alkynes are also unsaturated hydrocarbons with one or more triple bonds between the carbon atoms.
