Key Stage 3
Meaning
Butene is a gaseous (at room temperature) hydrocarbon with chemical formula C3H6.
About Butene
- Butene is hydrocarbon because it contains only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.
- Butene can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Butene + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
Key Stage 4

- 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.
- Butene + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
- <chem>2C3H6 + 9O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O</chem>
