The document provides a worksheet with questions about alkanes and alkenes. It gives the general formula for alkanes as CnH2n+2 and asks for the general formula for alkenes. It then lists compounds and asks the student to classify them as alkanes or alkenes. Finally, it provides a table to introduce chemical tests to distinguish between alkanes and alkenes using combustion and bromine water reactions.
