Answer

the difference between alkanes and alkene is that Alkanes are hydrocarbons (compounds containing only C and H) that have single covalent bonds joining the carbon atoms, while alkenes are hydrocarbons (compounds containing only C and H) that have one or more C=C double bonds (two C atoms are linked by 4 shared electrons).
