Best Answer

In an alkene with two carbon atoms being joined, there would be one double bond between the carbon atoms, and 4 single bonds for the 4 hydrogens, and it would be drawn as follows: H2-C=C-H2. This is ethene, and so it has a total of 5 bonds (unless you count the double bond as a sigma and a pi) then it has 6 bonds.

What is alkanes and alkenes?

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.
