Reactions Of Alkenes

• Alkenes are hydrocarbons with the functional group C=C
• It is the gererality of reactions of functional groups that determine the reactions of organic compounds
• Alkenes react with oxygen in combustion reactions in the same way as other hydrocarbons but they tend to burn in air with smoky flames because of incomplete combustion
• Alkenes react with hydrogen, wayward, and the halogens, by that addition of atoms across the carbon-carbon double bond ao that the double bond becomes a single carbon-carbon bon
