Answer:

They have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain than alkanes

Explanation:

Let's compare ethane (an alkane) with ethene (an alkene) and ethyne (an alkyne):

  • Ethane's formula is C₂H₄, while ethene's is C₂H₄ and ethyne's C₂H₂.

As you can see, alkenes and alkynes have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain due to them having multiple bonds between the carbon atoms.
