Molecules which contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms are called .
Alkenes are a group of molecules which contain a carbon-carbon bond. The general formula of the of alkenes is CnH2n. Alkenes have fewer hydrogen atoms than their analogous alkanes, so are called . They can also be distinguished from alkanes using the bromine water test; for example, when ethene reacts with aqueous bromine, the product formed is .
Both alkanes and alkenes undergo reactions when they burn. If there is insufficient oxygen, this is called incomplete combustion, and it can result in the formation of soot and , rather than just carbon dioxide and water from complete combustion.
