General formula for alkenes - ANSWER: CnH2n
General formula for alcohols - ANSWER: CnH2n+OH
What is the main difference between alkanes and alkenes? - ANSWER: Alkenes have a double
bond/alkanes don't
(+ General formula)
Double bonds can also be referred to as _______ - ANSWER: Unsaturated bonds
The presence of double bonds makes an alkene __________ reactive than an alkane (more/less
reactive) - ANSWER: More reactive
As you go down the alkene group, the melting/boiling point _______ (increases/decreases) -
ANSWER: Increases

What do you need to consider when naming an alkene? - ANSWER: Position of double bonds
When is the position of double bonds assigned (in an alkene)? - ANSWER: In its name - eg pent-1-ene
vs pent-2-ene
In a test for saturation, alkanes undergo what reaction? - ANSWER: Substitution reaction

healthier
Test for saturation between ethane and Br (include the type of reaction, any catalysts, how you know
it is ethane not ethene, and whether its bond is saturated/unsaturated) - ANSWER: CH3 - CH3 + Br2 -
(HV UV) -> CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - Br + HBr
* Substitution rxn
* Color will not change, it'll stay the same red/brown color
* Saturated bond
Test for saturation between ethene and Br (include the type of reaction, any catalysts, how you know
it is ethane not ethene, and whether its bond is saturated/unsaturated) - ANSWER: CH2 = CH2 + Br2 -
(HV UV) -> Br - CH2 - CH2 - Br
* Addition rxn
* Red/brown color -> clear color
* Unsaturated bond
