definitions An Alkene is a hydro carbon that contains a double bond. the molecular geometry around the C=C double bond in an alkene is trigonal planar The double bond of an Alkene does not rotate freely
Ethene Ethene contains 2 carbons connected by a double bond with 2 hydrogens attached to each carbon
Text Propene Propene contains 3 carbons with one double bond and 6 hydrogens attached
extra fact An alkene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon compound with the formula of C n H 2n
conclusion I have learned how to identify alkenes based on the double bond they make. Because they have a double bond, they are unable to rotate freely.
