Alkene - Wikipedia
A 3D model of ethylene, the simplest alkene. In organic chemistry, an alkene, or olefin, is a hydrocarbon containing a carbon–carbon double bond. [1] The double bond may be internal or in the terminal position.
Alkene - Formula, Definition, Classification, Properties ...
Alkene - Alkenes are hydrocarbons with the formula CnH2n. Alkenes contain the C=C functional group. Alkenes are unsaturated and undergo addition reactions. Other molecules add to the C=C bond.
The Chemistry of Alkenes: Structure, Naming, Uses & Reactions
2023年12月15日 · The alkene family is one of the most important classes of molecules in organic chemistry. Learn about the structure of alkenes, how to properly name them, their uses and common reactions.
7.1: Introduction to Alkenes - Chemistry LibreTexts
Alkenes. Alkenes are a class of hydrocarbons (i.e., containing only carbon and hydrogen). They are unsaturated compounds with at least one carbon-to-carbon double bond. The double bond makes alkenes more reactive than alkanes.
Alkenes: formula, structure, nomenclature, properties, and uses
Uses of alkene. Ethane -1 2-diol is prepared by alkenes, which is an anti-freezing agent used in motor car radiators. Alkene is used to make polymers like polythene, which is used to make bowls, containers, bags, and other items.
What are Alkenes? Structure and Reactions of Alkenes
Alkene Nomenclature. To name an alkene (a pure alkene, without any other functional groups), we first identify the parent, which is the longest chain that contains the C=C double bond.
7.4: Naming Alkenes - Chemistry LibreTexts
2024年10月12日 · The Basic Rules for Naming Alkenes. For straight chain alkenes, it is the same basic rules as nomenclature of alkanes apply except the -ane suffix is changed to -ene.. 1) Find the longest carbon chain that contains both carbons of the double bond.
