  2. Alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkene

    Alkene. In organic chemistry, an alkene, or olefin, is a hydrocarbon containing a carbon –carbon double bond. [1] The double bond may be internal or in the terminal position. Terminal alkenes are also known as α-olefins. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) recommends using the name "alkene" only for acyclic ...

  3. Cis–trans isomerism - Wikipedia

    These differences can be very small, as in the case of the boiling point of straight-chain alkenes, such as pent-2-ene, which is 37 °C in the cis isomer and 36 °C in the trans isomer. [5] The differences between cis and trans isomers can be larger if polar bonds are present, as in the 1,2-dichloroethenes.

  4. 1-Octene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Octene

    1-Octene is an organic compound with a formula CH 2 CHC 6 H 13. The alkene is classified as a higher olefin and alpha-olefin , meaning that the double bond is located at the alpha (primary) position, endowing this compound with higher reactivity and thus useful chemical properties. 1-Octene is one of the important linear alpha olefins in industry.

  5. 1-Octadecene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Octadecene

    Infobox references. 1-Octadecene is a long-chain hydrocarbon and an alkene with the molecular formula CH 2 =CH (CH 2) 15 CH 3. It is one of many isomers of octadecene. Classified as an alpha-olefin, 1-octadecene is the longest alkene that is liquid at room temperature. [3][2]

  6. Octene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octene

    1-octene. Octene is an alkene with the formula C 8 H 16.Several isomers of octene are known, depending on the position and the geometry of the double bond in the carbon chain.. The simplest isomer is 1-octene, an alpha-olefin used primarily as a co-monomer in production of polyethylene via the solution polymerization process.

  7. Boiling point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_point

    Water boiling at 99.3 °C (210.8 °F) at 215 m (705 ft) elevation. The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid [1] [2] and the liquid changes into a vapor. The boiling point of a liquid varies depending upon the surrounding environmental pressure.

  9. Saturated and unsaturated compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturated_and_unsaturated...

    Saturated and unsaturated compounds. A saturated compound is a chemical compound (or ion) that resists addition reactions, such as hydrogenation, oxidative addition, and binding of a Lewis base. The term is used in many contexts and for many classes of chemical compounds. Overall, saturated compounds are less reactive than unsaturated compounds.
