    The document compares the physical properties of the first six members of alkanes and alkenes. It provides their molecular formulas, melting points, boiling points, and physical states. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with single carbon-carbon bonds that are gases or liquids. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with double carbon-carbon bonds that are gases. As the number of carbon atoms increases, the melting and boiling points of both alkanes and alkenes increase.

    Original Description:

    Good luck
