Introduction to Alkenes and Cracking of Alkanes

The video tutorial covers the structure and properties of alkenes, including their ability to form double bonds and their general formula. It explains how alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons and can undergo combustion, often resulting in incomplete combustion. The video also details how alkenes react with other elements through addition reactions. The process of cracking larger hydrocarbons into smaller, more useful ones is described, highlighting both steam and catalytic cracking methods.

How does the process of cracking work and what are its two main methods?

What is the outcome when ethene reacts with bromine water?

Discuss the products formed when a large alkane is cracked.
