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

Structural Isomerism
Isomerism Two or more compounds having the same molecular formula but different chemical and physical properties are called isomers and the phenomenon is known as isomerism. It is of 2 types: 1) Structural isomerism 2) Stereoisomerism 1) Structural Isomerism : Compounds having the same molecular formula but different structures i.e. different arrangement of … [Read more...] about Structural Isomerism
