Decene vs. Decane — What's the Difference?

Decene is an alkene with the formula C10H20. Decene contains a chain of ten carbon atoms with one double bond.

Decane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C10H22. Although 75 structural isomers are possible for decane, the term usually refers to the normal-decane ("n-decane"), with the formula CH3(CH2)8CH3.
