Alkanes have a single bond, and Alkenes have a double bond. The general form for Alkenes is CnH(2n)
The carbon "skeleton" has one double bond, the rest are single bonds
Alkenes (also known as olefenes) have double covalent bonds, descriptively a sigma bond and a pi bond.
Single and double
Examples are oxygen, nitrogen , alkenes with carbon carbon double bonds, alkynes with carbon carbon triple bonds, the carbon oxygen double bonds in carbon dioxide
Apex- A hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond
Olefins or alkenes
alkenes
The carbon "skeleton" has one double bond, the rest are single bonds
An alkene has a double bond between its carbon atomsE.g H2C=CH2 This is an ethene molecule, the simplest of alkenes.
Alkenes are hydrocarbons containing carbon-carbon double bonds. There are several different names for alkenes. Some examples are butane, pentene and octadiene.
Alkenes (also known as olefenes) have double covalent bonds, descriptively a sigma bond and a pi bond.
Single and double
No, they are unsaturated as they contain double bonds
Examples are oxygen, nitrogen , alkenes with carbon carbon double bonds, alkynes with carbon carbon triple bonds, the carbon oxygen double bonds in carbon dioxide
Apex- A hydrocarbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond
The difference between an alkane and an alkene is that: Alkanes have only single bonds between carbon atoms and are said to be saturated: when put in bromine water, the bromine water stays orange - formula: CnH2n+2; Alkenes: have one or more double bond(s) between carbon atoms and are unsaturated: when put in bromine water, the bromine water turns clear - formula: CnH2n.
Alkanes are carbon chains with no multiple bonds. Alkenes are carbon chains with double bonds. Alkynes are carbon chains with triple bonds.
