Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons characterized by at least one double bond, defined by the formula CnH2n. Common examples include ethene, propene, and butene. They are represented nominally with the suffix "-ene" and can exist in different isomeric forms, including cis and trans configurations. The physical properties and typical reactions of alkenes, such as combustion and addition reactions, are essential for understanding their chemistry. Addition reactions include hydrogenation, halogenation, and hydration, making alkenes highly reactive intermediates in organic synthesis.
