Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds, whereas Alkenes and Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain one or more double bond and triple bonds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A saturated hydrocarbon with an only single bond is called alkanes. Ethane consisting of two carbon atoms that are bonded with a single bond and six hydrogen atoms sharing the other valence electron of carbon atoms. The molecular structure of alkane is CnH2n+2.
  • An unsaturated hydrocarbon with a two bond is called alkenes. Ethene consisting of two carbon atoms double-bonded to each other. The molecular structure of alkene is CnH2n.
  • An unsaturated hydrocarbon with a triple bond is called as alkynes. It involves sharing three pairs of electrons. The molecular structure of alkyne is CnH2n-2.

If copper is heated with iron oxide there is no obvious reaction because

copper is less reactive than iron.

On a reactivity chart, copper is far below iron. This makes it impossible for a replacement reaction to occur, so the equation doesn't change.

I hope I helped!
