What are the different types of alkenes?
Answer:
Alkenes are hydrocarbon derivatives that contain a double bond of carbon in its structure. There are no general terminologies for types of alkenes, but they do have specific types in terms of IUPAC Nomenclatures. Some examples are Ethene, C2H2, Propene, C3H6 and Butene, C4H8. They all end with -ene suffix, with a formula , where n represents the number of carbons that determines the prefix of the alkene (eth-, prop-, but-, etc.).
