An alkene is a type of hydrocarbon characterized by the presence of at least one carbon-carbon double bond (C=C). This double bond gives alkenes their unsaturated nature, distinguishing them from alkanes, which contain only single bonds. Common examples of alkenes include ethylene (C₂H₄) and propylene (C₃H₆). Alkenes are important in various chemical reactions and are widely used in the production of plastics and other synthetic materials.
