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.


What are the family of organic compounds soluble in organic solvents but not in water?

The family of organic compounds that are soluble in organic solvents but not in water includes nonpolar compounds such as hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes), lipids (fats and oils), and many aromatic compounds. These substances generally have low polarity and do not engage in hydrogen bonding with water, making them hydrophobic. Other examples include certain esters, ethers, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Their solubility in organic solvents is due to similar nonpolar interactions.


What do you use alkenes for?

Alkenes are commonly used in the production of plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene. They are also used in the synthesis of various organic compounds through different chemical reactions like polymerization and hydrohalogenation. Additionally, alkenes can be used as starting materials in the manufacture of detergents, solvents, and synthetic rubbers.


What are the main homologous series for organic compounds?

All the families of organic compounds exist as a homologous series (A series having a difference of 'CH2' unit between two consecutive members) the main homologous series-es are Alkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols and Carboxylic acids (Fatty acids).

What are the properties of alkenes?

Alkenes are made of carbon and hydrogen, and has only one double bond and has the formula CnH2n where n is an integer. Relatively, they have the lowest BP and MP with compared to other corresponding organic compounds except the alkanes.

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 are the compounds that are made of carbon and hydrogen?

Compounds that are made of carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. They are the simplest organic compounds and can be classified into different types such as alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes based on the types of carbon-carbon bonds present. These compounds are the basis for many organic molecules found in nature and are essential for life.
