What do you use alkenes for?
alkenes are used to make polycarbonates such as polyethene which is used in making rope, plastics, etc.
What are the main two types of products of cracking and what are they used for?
Smaller alkanes and alkenes
What is one main use for natural gas?
either fuel for car or fuel for grill
What is the main use of natural gas?
Primarily a heating fuel.
Why are alkenes from alcohols not used on an industrial scale?
Since alcohols are obtained by hydration of alkenes, it is meaningless to manufacture alkenes from alkanes. Moreover, cracking hydrocarbons is a more effective and economical to make alkenes. Shawkat

Do Alkenes have carbon-carbon double bonds?
Alkanes have a single bond, and Alkenes have a double bond. The general form for Alkenes is CnH(2n)
What is the importance of alkenes?
Alkenes are very important as: 1. They are used in the manufacture of polythene, Mustard gas(beta-beta dichloro ethyl sulphide) 2. Ethene, one of the alkenes, is used as a general anaesthetic and for artificial ripening of fruits. 3. Alkenes are used as a starting material for a large number of chemicals of industrial use such as glycols(antifreeze) , ethyl halide and ethyl alcohol.
