alkanes
an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon. In other words, an alkane consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a tree structure in which all the carbon–carbon bonds are single.
Solid alkanes are normally soft, with low melting points.
These characteristics are due to strong repulsive forces generated between electrons on neighboring atoms, which are in close proximity in crystalline solids.

alkenes
naming
-
- name the parent hydrocarbon by locating the longest chain that contains the double and
- number the carbons of the parent chain so the double bond carbons have the lowest possible number
- if the double bond is equidistant from each end, number so the first substituent has the lowest number
- write out the full name numbering the substituent
- indicate the double bond by the number of the first alkene carbon.
-
the boiling point of each alkene is very similar to that of the alkane with the same number of carbon atoms.
All the rest that you are likely to come across are liquids. Boiling points of alkenes depends on more molecular mass (chain length).

This triple bond contributes to the nonpolar bonding strength, linear, and the acidity of alkynes.
Physical Properties include nonpolar due to slight solubility in polar solvents and insoluble in water
