Study Notes
Alkene Nomenclature
- When naming alkenes, the carbons in a chain are numbered starting from the end that is closer to the double bond.
Alternative Term for Alkenes
- Another term for an alkene is an olefin.
Isomerism in Alkenes
- Alkenes exhibit geometric isomerism (also known as cis-trans isomerism).
Hybridization in Double Bonds
- Carbon atoms in a double bond exhibit sp² hybridization.
Naming Cyclic Alkenes
- The prefix "cyclo" is used when naming cyclic alkenes.
Preferred Term for Hydrocarbons with C-C Double Bond
- The preferred term for a hydrocarbon containing a C-C double bond is an alkene.
