Organic chemistry

• Alkenes have general formula CnH2n, where n = number of carbons in chain.
• Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond.
• Alkenes react with halogens to form haloalkanes through addition reactions.
• What is a homologous series?

  A homologous series is a group of organic compounds that have the same functional group and follow a similar structural pattern, with each member differing by a CH2 unit.
• What is an alkane?


  An alkane is a saturated hydrocarbon (saturated means no double bonds).
