प्रश्न
Differentiate between alkanes and alkenes. Name and draw the structure of one member of each.
उत्तर
(a) Alkanes: These are the simplest hydrocarbons having general formula CnH2n+2, where n is the number of atoms. These compounds contain all single covalent bonds between the carbon atoms. Suffix-ane is used while naming alkanes.
For e.g. C2H6
Alkenes: These are the simplest unsaturated hydrocarbons having general formula CnH2n, where n is the number of atoms. These compounds contain at least one double bond between the carbon atoms. Suffix, -ene is used while naming alkenes.
For e.g. C2H4
