Alkene's are a group of chemicals that contain only Hydrogen and Carbon, have a general formula, similar chemical properties and gradually changing physical properties.

The simplest alkene is ethene whitch has the formula H2C=CH2

and the general formula for all alkanes is CnH2n

so the alkene with 5 carbons (pentene) has 5 carbon atoms and 10hydrogen atoms.
