Alkanes

Let's go through what you say step by step: 1. In organic chemistry, naming alkanes and alkenes, there's something I'd like to be made clear. For example, with alkanes, lets say it's butene with a ring structure, it would be named cyclobutene. ^What you just said ...

I think it is called butane for alkanes (cyclobutane for the ring structure) and butene for alkenes (cyclobutene for the ring structure).

wouldn't butene be only alkenes and not alkanes??

Well, for H2O and C8H18, water is polar, alkanes are not, thus they will not be soluble in one another.
