Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Alkanes (C–C single bonds) are saturated hydrocarbons, generally unreactive except under combustion or halogenation. Alkenes (C=C double bonds) are unsaturated, more reactive, and undergo addition reactions (e.g., hydrogenation). Alkynes (C≡C triple bonds) are even more reactive in certain reactions. Knowledge of these classes is fundamental in organic synthesis, fuel technology, and polymer production.
