Physical Properties The physical properties of
alkenes are comparable with ALKANES The PHYSICAL STATE depends on MOLECULAR MASS
The simplest alkenes ethylene propylene and butylene are gases
Linear alkenes of approximately five to sixteen carbons are liquids and higher alkenes are waxy solids
Chemical Properties Alkenes are relatively stable
compounds but are more reactive than alkanes This is compatible with the idea that the carbon-carbon double bond in alkenes is stronger than the carbon-carbon single bond in alkanes however as the majority of the reactions of alkenes involve the rupture of this bond to form two new single bonds
A double bond is not as strong as a single bond so it is more easily broken This means that the alkenes are more chemically reactive than the alkanes
Reactions
Addition Reaction Is a type of chemical reaction in which a compound adds to a multiple bond
In the case of addition reaction take place in ALKENES one bond in the double bond is broken in order to form new bonds

Physical Properties The physical properties of
alkenes are comparable with ALKANES The PHYSICAL STATE depends on MOLECULAR MASS
The simplest alkenes ethylene propylene and butylene are gases
Linear alkenes of approximately five to sixteen carbons are liquids and higher alkenes are waxy solids
Chemical Properties Alkenes are relatively stable
compounds but are more reactive than alkanes This is compatible with the idea that the carbon-carbon double bond in alkenes is stronger than the carbon-carbon single bond in alkanes however as the majority of the reactions of alkenes involve the rupture of this bond to form two new single bonds
A double bond is not as strong as a single bond so it is more easily broken This means that the alkenes are more chemically reactive than the alkanes
Reactions
Addition Reaction Is a type of chemical reaction in which a compound adds to a multiple bond
In the case of addition reaction take place in ALKENES one bond in the double bond is broken in order to form new bonds

Physical Properties The physical properties of
alkenes are comparable with ALKANES The PHYSICAL STATE depends on MOLECULAR MASS
The simplest alkenes ethylene propylene and butylene are gases
Linear alkenes of approximately five to sixteen carbons are liquids and higher alkenes are waxy solids
Chemical Properties Alkenes are relatively stable
compounds but are more reactive than alkanes This is compatible with the idea that the carbon-carbon double bond in alkenes is stronger than the carbon-carbon single bond in alkanes however as the majority of the reactions of alkenes involve the rupture of this bond to form two new single bonds
A double bond is not as strong as a single bond so it is more easily broken This means that the alkenes are more chemically reactive than the alkanes
Reactions
Addition Reaction Is a type of chemical reaction in which a compound adds to a multiple bond
In the case of addition reaction take place in ALKENES one bond in the double bond is broken in order to form new bonds

Physical Properties The physical properties of
alkenes are comparable with ALKANES The PHYSICAL STATE depends on MOLECULAR MASS
The simplest alkenes ethylene propylene and butylene are gases
Linear alkenes of approximately five to sixteen carbons are liquids and higher alkenes are waxy solids
Chemical Properties Alkenes are relatively stable
compounds but are more reactive than alkanes This is compatible with the idea that the carbon-carbon double bond in alkenes is stronger than the carbon-carbon single bond in alkanes however as the majority of the reactions of alkenes involve the rupture of this bond to form two new single bonds
A double bond is not as strong as a single bond so it is more easily broken This means that the alkenes are more chemically reactive than the alkanes
Reactions
Addition Reaction Is a type of chemical reaction in which a compound adds to a multiple bond
In the case of addition reaction take place in ALKENES one bond in the double bond is broken in order to form new bonds

Physical Properties The physical properties of
alkenes are comparable with ALKANES The PHYSICAL STATE depends on MOLECULAR MASS
The simplest alkenes ethylene propylene and butylene are gases
Linear alkenes of approximately five to sixteen carbons are liquids and higher alkenes are waxy solids
Chemical Properties Alkenes are relatively stable
compounds but are more reactive than alkanes This is compatible with the idea that the carbon-carbon double bond in alkenes is stronger than the carbon-carbon single bond in alkanes however as the majority of the reactions of alkenes involve the rupture of this bond to form two new single bonds
A double bond is not as strong as a single bond so it is more easily broken This means that the alkenes are more chemically reactive than the alkanes
Reactions
Addition Reaction Is a type of chemical reaction in which a compound adds to a multiple bond
In the case of addition reaction take place in ALKENES one bond in the double bond is broken in order to form new bonds

Physical Properties The physical properties of
alkenes are comparable with ALKANES The PHYSICAL STATE depends on MOLECULAR MASS
The simplest alkenes ethylene propylene and butylene are gases
Linear alkenes of approximately five to sixteen carbons are liquids and higher alkenes are waxy solids
Chemical Properties Alkenes are relatively stable
compounds but are more reactive than alkanes This is compatible with the idea that the carbon-carbon double bond in alkenes is stronger than the carbon-carbon single bond in alkanes however as the majority of the reactions of alkenes involve the rupture of this bond to form two new single bonds
A double bond is not as strong as a single bond so it is more easily broken This means that the alkenes are more chemically reactive than the alkanes
Reactions
Addition Reaction Is a type of chemical reaction in which a compound adds to a multiple bond
In the case of addition reaction take place in ALKENES one bond in the double bond is broken in order to form new bonds

Physical Properties The physical properties of
alkenes are comparable with ALKANES The PHYSICAL STATE depends on MOLECULAR MASS
The simplest alkenes ethylene propylene and butylene are gases
Linear alkenes of approximately five to sixteen carbons are liquids and higher alkenes are waxy solids
Chemical Properties Alkenes are relatively stable
compounds but are more reactive than alkanes This is compatible with the idea that the carbon-carbon double bond in alkenes is stronger than the carbon-carbon single bond in alkanes however as the majority of the reactions of alkenes involve the rupture of this bond to form two new single bonds
A double bond is not as strong as a single bond so it is more easily broken This means that the alkenes are more chemically reactive than the alkanes
Reactions
Addition Reaction Is a type of chemical reaction in which a compound adds to a multiple bond
In the case of addition reaction take place in ALKENES one bond in the double bond is broken in order to form new bonds

A double bond is not as strong as a single bond so it is more easily broken This means that the alkenes are more chemically reactive than the alkanes
Reactions
Addition Reaction Is a type of chemical reaction in which a compound adds to a multiple bond
In the case of addition reaction take place in ALKENES one bond in the double bond is broken in order to form new bonds

Step 2 Chain Propagation
Is a reaction of a radical and a molecule of monomer
Propagation steps generally repeat over and over (propagate) with the radical formed in one step reacting with a monomer to produce a new radical and so on
Chain propagation steps can continue until all starting materials are consumed
The number of times a cycle of chain propagation steps repeats is called CHAIN LENGTH

2 TYPES OF ALKENE STRUCTURE
SYMMETRICAL ndash Is an ALKENE structure having the same number of hydrogen atoms attached to both sides of the double bond
UNSYMMETRICAL ndash Is an ALKENE structure having different numbers of hydrogen atoms attached to both sides of the double bond
Markovnikov lsquos Rule ldquo the rich get richer ldquo If the two carbon atoms at the
double bond are linked to a different number of hydrogen atoms the halogen will attach at the carbon with least number of hydrogen and hydrogen will attach at the carbon with more hydrogen attached to it
