alkanes consist of only single covalent bonds (between carbon atoms) and are formed by the following formula. CnH2n+2 (pretend n and 2n+2 are subscripts!) and all alkane names end in -ane.

alkenes can consist of single covalent bonds but must have at least one double bond between carbon atoms(no triple--thats alkynes). They are formed with the following formula: CnH2n and all of them end in -ene.

I also have a test on this tomorrow! Good luck!
