Q. Explain the structure of Alkenes?

Ans.

Alkenes have the general formula C_nH_2n. Therefore, for every n carbon atoms, there are 2n hydrogen atoms.

Alkenes have C = C double bonds and are therefore unsaturated.

Ethene (also called ethylene) and is the first member of the alkene series:

Ethylene is made by passing ethanol vapor over heated aluminum oxide which acts a catalyst.
