∙ 10y agoIts alkene because ethene would be alkene and for example ethanol would be alkane.
Edit: The molecular formula of ethene (IUPAC name ethylene) is C2H4. The two carbon atoms will form a double bond (with each other) and single bonds with the 4 remaining H atoms.
Alkenes are carbon compounds that have atleast one double bond present in their structure. Hence ethene is an alkene.

∙ 11y agoAlkanes end in -ane.
Alkenes end in -ene.
Alkynes end in -yne.
Ethyne ends in -yne so, that makes it an alkyne. A synonym for the compound is Acetylene but, that does not follow the IUPAC naming procedure. Regardless, the formula is C2H2 with a triple bond between the two carbons.

∙ 13y agoYes it is an alkene. It is in fact the smallest alkene molecule. Its chemical formula is C2 H4. Hope this helps :P

2-ethylhexane is an alkane as all its carbons are saturated i.e it contains only singly bonded carbon atoms.

∙ 12y agoThe general formula of linear alkanes is CnH2n+2; ethane, with the formula C2H6, is clearly a member of this family.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoNo. it is an alcohol, containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Alkanes only contain carbon and hydrogen.

What are the classifications of ethane?
Ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon of Alkane family of organic compound
What is the difference between Ethane and Ethylene?
ethane is CH3-CH3, an alkane ethylene is CH2=CH2, an alkene.
What reacts with an alkane in a substitution reaction?
Any number of chemical moieties could react with alkanes to produce new compounds in a substitution reaction. For example, hydrohalic acids (HCl, HBr, HI) could react with an alkane to produce a haloalkane. Here, the halogen atom would replace one of the hydrogen atoms in the alkane. (HCl + ethane --> chloroethane) (HBr + propane --> bromopropane) This also works with other reactive species, such as: - nitric acid + alkane --> nitroalkane
The alkane of eight carbons is?
1 carbon - methane 2 carbons - ethane 3 - propane 4 - butane 5 - pentane 6 - hexane 7 - heptane 8 - octane
What are the 2 reletives of methane?
Methane is an alkane with one carbon atom. Its relatives (or elements in homologous series) are ethane, propane and butane with 2, 3 and 4 carbon atoms respectively.
What are the classifications of ethane?
Ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon of Alkane family of organic compound
What do ethane and ethanol have in common?
Ethane is an alkane with the chemical formula C2H6. Ethanol is an alcohol with the chemical formula C2H5OH, corresponding to ethane.
What is the difference between Ethane and Ethylene?
ethane is CH3-CH3, an alkane ethylene is CH2=CH2, an alkene.
Is ethane a halogen?
No, ethane is an alkane, which is a type of hydrocarbon. Halogens on the other hand are elements in group 7 of the periodic table.
Which term describes the molecule shown below C2H6?
(Ethane) Saturated Alkane
Ethane with the chemical formula C2H6 is an example of?
An organic molecule An alkane A symmetric molecule
What chemical series does methane belong to?
In chemistry, ethanol is a classified as an "alkane". It is also grouped as one of many "hydrocarbons", meaning it consists of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. It is also an "alcohol". I think ethane (alkane) and suffix of alcohol is how its name is derived.
What is an example of alkane?
methane, ethane, propane, hexane .... these are some of the famous alkanes
What are the Differents between methane ethane propane?
Methane is the main component of natural gas and the simplest alkane. Ethane is a byproduct of petroleum refining and is colorless and odorless. Propane is a byproduct of both petroleum refining and natural gas processing.
Why alkene gives more soot than alkane?
Comparing ethane and ethene . there proportionally more hydrogens in ethane. Conversely there are proportionally more carbons in ethene. Ethane C:H:: 1:3 or 1/3 : 1 Ethene C:H :: 1:2 or 1/2 : 1 Since the fraction '1/2' > 1/3' then more carbon (soot).
Do the alkane molecules in bitumen have large numbers of carbon atoms or small numbers of carbon atoms?
Large - think they're C25+ The alkane molecules which have small numbers of carbon are Methane (CH4) Ethane (C2H6) etc - they have lower boiling points and are more useful as fuels etc.
What reacts with an alkane in a substitution reaction?
Any number of chemical moieties could react with alkanes to produce new compounds in a substitution reaction. For example, hydrohalic acids (HCl, HBr, HI) could react with an alkane to produce a haloalkane. Here, the halogen atom would replace one of the hydrogen atoms in the alkane.
