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.
