Key Stage 3

Meaning

Butene is a gaseous (at room temperature) hydrocarbon with chemical formula C4H8.

About Butene

Butene is hydrocarbon because it contains only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.
Butene can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.

Butene is hydrocarbon because it contains only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.
Butene has a double bond between two Carbon atoms.
Butene is described as 'unsaturated' due to the double bond as it is not completely 'saturated' by Hydrogen atoms like Butane.
Butene can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
