Disadvantage of alkenes?
Alkenes are defined as any of the series of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a double bond, including ethylene and propylene. Disadvantages include that many alkenes are insoluble in aqueous acid and side reactions are possible.
Why are fractions from crude oil cracked?
To make alkenes, to make alkenes with smaller molecules, to make fuels that are more useful or for which there is more demand.Large hydrocarbons do not burn easily or are less in demand
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 are the real life applications of alkene?
alkenes can be polymerized into polymers (plastics), or used as fuels.

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
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

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.
What is the difference between alkenes and olefins?
Alkenes and Olefins are same compounds with general formula CnH2n.
