Simple questions really...
1)What is Organic Chemistry? Post your definition in the blog comments please.
2)How do Alkanes, Alkenes and Arenes differ from each other?
Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are hydrocarbons with different structures, physical and chemical properties. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons which mean they are compounds with a single bond between the atoms. Alkane compounds are not very reactive; this is because the carbon bonds are stable and do not break easily. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons which mean they are compounds with one or more double bonds or one or more triple bonds between carbon atoms. Alkanes are the most stable hydrocarbons as the carbon bonds are difficult to break. Alkynes are also unsaturated hydrocarbons; they have one or more triple bonds between the carbon atoms. They are highly reactive due to the presence of triple, unsaturated bonds. The different between the hydrocarbons are the bonds, how reactive they are and the structure.
What is organic chemistry? Organic chemistry is a study of chemistry that involves the study of the structures, composition, and synthesis of carbon-containing compounds.
How do Alkanes, Alkenes and Arenes differ from each other?
Alkanes • Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons (which mean they are compounds with a single bond between the atoms) • CnH2n+2 • They are also called paraffins • In alkanes, there are four bonds for each carbon atom; it could be either C-H or C-C bond. Each hydrogen atom has to be bonded with a carbon atom. • The simplest alkane is CH4. • Alkane compounds are not very reactive; this is because the carbon bonds are stable and do not break easily. They have no functional groups attached to the carbon atoms.
Alkenes • Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons (which mean they are compounds with one or more double bonds or one or more triple bonds between carbon atoms) • Alkenes specifically are those unsaturated hydrocarbons which have at least one double bond. • CnH2n • They are also called olefin • They are more reactive than alkenes
Arenes • Arenes are aromatic hydrocarbons (most commonly based on benzene rings) such as benzene and methylbenzene • C6H6 • methylbenzene (old name: toluene) which has one of the hydrogen atoms attached to the ring replaced by a methyl group - C6H5CH3.
What is Organic Chemistry? Organic chemistry is a part of chemistry which is involving the scientific study of the structure, properties and reactions of organic compounds and materials, or matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms.
How do Alkanes, Alkenes and Arenes differ from each other?
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. They consist only of hydrogen and carbon atoms, all bonds are single bonds, and the carbon atoms are not joined in cyclic structures but instead form a simple chain. They have the general chemical formula CnH2n+2.There are two main commercial sources which are crude oil and natural gas.
Alkenes are an unsaturated chemical compound containing at least one carbon-to-carbon double bond. The simplest acyclic alkenes, with only one double bond and no other functional groups, form a homologous series of hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n.
An aromatic hydrocarbon or arene is a hydrocarbon with alternating double and single bonds between carbon atoms forming rings. The configuration of six carbon atoms in aromatic compound is known as a benzene ring, after the simplest possible such hydrocarbon, benzene.

You have obviously forgotten what we've being telling you about plagiarism for the last year and a bit... Do it again but in your own words this time.
