Detailed explanation-1: -Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons and the number of hydrogen atoms is twice that of carbon atoms i.e. CnH2n.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alkenes are defined as either branched or unbranched hydrocarbons that possess at least one carbon–carbon double bond (CC) and have a general formula of CnH2n [1].
Detailed explanation-3: -The general formula of Saturated hydrocarbons is CnH2n.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrocarbons having at least one triple bond between two carbon atoms are known as alkyne. General formula of alkyne is CnH2n−2. As in case of alkene, minimum two carbon atoms are required to form alkyne.
Detailed explanation-5: -Alkenes have the general formula CnH2n. The general formula for alkynes is CnH2n-2.
