Alkanes, alkenes, alcohols and carboxylic acids
Different
homologous series
of
organic
compounds
Polymers
Naturally
occurring and synthetic, can be formed from a variety of
monomers
Alkenes
Unsaturated
hydrocarbons with a
double
bond between the carbon atoms
Homologous series
Have the same
general
formula
Differ by
CH2
in molecular formulae
Show a
gradual
variation in physical
properties
, such as boiling points
Have similar chemical
properties
Alkenes
Decene
Hexene
Decene is an
alkene
with
10
carbon atoms
Hexene
is an
alkene
with 6 carbon atoms
The ball and stick models show that the
covalent bonds
are not really at angles of
90°
, as shown in the structures
Unsaturated hydrocarbons
Compounds containing
hydrogen
and carbon only, with at least one
double
or triple bond
C=
C bond

group in
alkenes
, responsible for their typical reactions
