alkene

alkenes are hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon double bond.

the reaction of alkenes with hydrogen halides is an important industrial process.

alkenes are used as starting materials in the production of many polymers.

the addition of water to an alkene is called hydration.

alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions readily.

the double bond in an alkene is more reactive than a single bond.

different types of alkenes have different physical and chemical properties.

alkenes can be isolated from petroleum through fractional distillation.

the study of alkenes is essential for understanding organic chemistry.

alkene synthesis is a crucial area of research in chemical engineering.
