Key Stage 4
Meaning
Alkenes are hydrocarbon compounds with one double bond and the general formula; CnH2n
About Alkenes
- Alkenes are a homologous series of hydrocarbon compounds.
- The functional group of the Alkenes is the double bonds between the Carbon atoms.
- Alkenes are long chains of Carbon atoms covalently bonded together with double and single bonds and Hydrogen atoms taking the remaining bonds.
