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
What 2 solutions can you use to test for alkenes?
You can use a litmus test it will tell you if it is alkane and will tell you the PH of the alkane metal.
In Chemistry what does Alkenes mean?
Alkenes are hydrocarbons containing carbon-carbon double bonds. There are several different names for alkenes. Some examples are butane, pentene and octadiene.
What are unsymmetrical alkenes?
Unsymmetrical alkenes is molecule which is an pair of ligands. The molecule has doubly bonded carbon.
Is the main use for alkenes fuel?
Yes, Alkenes are used for fuels - as they are one of our organic compounds in society. For example, fuel can be used for cooking and petrol.
Who found alkenes?
Zoe alkenes found alkenes
Are all alkenes gases?
No. The lower alkenes are gases. As the number of carbon atom increases, liquid and solid alkenes are known.
Why alkenes are less reactive than alkenes?
they contain unreactive atoms

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.

What is the connection between Alkenes and fruit ripening?
alkenes are everywhere and many have biological importance. the simplest alkene , ethene , is a plant hormone that regulates fruit ripeing , flower maturation , and seed germination. many of the pheromones that insects use to communicate alarm or find mates are alkenes, as are some of flavors and fragrances found in plants.
What are unsymmetrical alkenes?
Unsymmetrical alkenes is molecule which is an pair of ligands. The molecule has doubly bonded carbon.
What is the difference between alkenes and olefins?
Alkenes and Olefins are same compounds with general formula CnH2n.
