alkenide
An alkenide, also known as an alkene or olefin, is a hydrocarbon compound containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond. These organic molecules are characterized by the presence of the C=C functional group, which distinguishes them from alkanes (single bonds) and alkynes (triple bonds). Alkenides are unsaturated hydrocarbons, meaning they have fewer hydrogen atoms than alkanes with the same number of carbons due to the presence of the double bond.
Alkenides are commonly represented by the general formula CnH2n, where n is the number of carbon atoms.
These compounds are widely used in chemical synthesis and industry. They serve as key intermediates in the
The reactivity of alkenides is primarily associated with the double bond, which acts as a site of
In nature and industrial processes, alkenides are important both as building blocks for complex molecules and
