Study Notes

Alkynes

The presence of the triple bond mainly influences the polarizability of alkynes.
The boiling points of alkynes increase with an increase in the number of carbon atoms.
Alkynes with 1-4 carbon atoms are expected to be gases, according to their general formulas.

Alkenes

Alkenes are highly reactive towards a wide variety of reagents due to their high electron density.
The general formula for alkynes is CnH2n-2.
Most alkenes are named according to the IUPAC system by replacing the -ane suffix of the corresponding alkane with -ene.
Alkenes have a higher melting point compared to alkanes due to their stronger intermolecular forces.
The boiling point of alkenes increases with an increase in carbon atoms.
Lower members of alkenes are sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents due to their non-polar nature.
The general formula for alkynes is CnH2n-2.
