Please explain this paragraph as soon as possible.
Dear Student,
In the given paragraph in place of alkane there must be alkene because alkane have single carbon bond not double as mentioned above. So, correcting the mistake and taking taking alkene in place of alkane, the brief explanation is given below:
• Alkene:
Alkenes are the hydrocarbons which contain carbon-carbon double bond. They contain a double bond that is composed of one sigma and one pi bond between two carbon atoms. The general formula of alkene is CnH2n where n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. Alkenes are generally more reactive than their related alkanes due to the relative instability of the pi bond.
• Alkynes:
Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain carbon-carbon triple bonds. Their general formula is CnH2n-2 for molecules with one triple bond. They have two pi bonds and one sigma bond. Alkynes undergo many of the same reactions as alkenes, but can react twice because of the presence of the two pi bonds in the triple bond.
Regards
