Acyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon double bond are called alkenes. They are also called olefins since the lower members of this class produce oily products on reaction with halogens such as chlorine and bromine. Structures of Double Bond The carbon-carbon double bond in alkenes consists of one strong carbon-carbon σ-bond with a bond dissociation … [Read more...] about Alkenes
