Alkenes and Alkynes

Water does add to C=C double bonds to give alcohols in the presence of an acid. This type of reaction is called ______________________.

It describes how a reaction takes place: which bonds break and in what order.

It states that, in the addition of HX, the hydrogen goes to the carbon that already has more hydrogen.

These are unsaturated hydrocarbons with one or more double bonds.

The general formula for alkenes.

The first member of the alkene family.

The common name for ethene.

These are molecules having the same structural formula but differ in position in the molecules geometric structure with respect to the C=C.

This isomer means that two particular atoms (or group of atoms) are adjacent to each other.

This isomer means that two particular atoms (or group of atoms) are across from each other.
