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

- Propene is hydrocarbon because it contains only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.
- Propene has a double bond between two Carbon atoms.
- Propene is described as 'unsaturated' due to the double bond as it is not completely 'saturated' by Hydrogen atoms like Propane.
- Propene can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Propene + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
\(2C_3H_6 + 9O_2 -> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O\)
