In chemistry, a double bond is a covalent bond between two atoms involving four bonding electrons as opposed to two in a single bond. Double bonds occur most commonly between two carbon atoms, for example in alkenes. Many double bonds exist between two different elements: for example, in a carbonyl group between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom.
Allylic compounds have a carbon-carbon double bond next to a carbon-carbon single bond, while vinylic compounds have a carbon-carbon double bond directly attached to a carbon atom. Allylic compounds are more stable and less reactive than vinylic compounds due to the presence of the single bond, which provides additional stability. Vinylic compounds are more reactive and undergo addition reactions more readily than allylic compounds.

These are unsaturated organic compounds.
Vinyl compounds have a double bond between two carbon atoms, while allyl compounds have a double bond between one carbon atom and a carbon chain. Vinyl compounds are more reactive due to the presence of the double bond, allowing for addition reactions. Allyl compounds are less reactive but can undergo substitution reactions due to the presence of the allylic carbon.
A carbon-carbon double bond. C=C This is because only unsaturated organic compounds (organic compounds with double bonds) can be hydrogenated.
The name "methene" is not commonly used because it would imply the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond, which is not the case. Instead, compounds with a carbon-carbon double bond are typically named using the suffix "-ene" in organic chemistry nomenclature.
The most common multiple bond between carbon and a heteroatom is a carbon-nitrogen double bond (C=N). This bond is commonly found in organic compounds such as amines and nitriles.
A 6-carbon ring with a double bond is called benzene.
Organic compounds can have carbon-carbon double bonds.
A double bond oxygen is called a carbonyl group. It consists of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom.
A compound containing a carbon-carbon double bond is called an alkene. Alkenes are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbon where two carbon atoms are joined by a double bond. Examples include ethene (ethylene) and propene (propylene).
Carbons with carbon-carbon double bonds are called alkenes. They are unsaturated hydrocarbons characterized by the presence of at least one carbon-carbon double bond.
