About this document
Alkenes and Alcohols: Reactions Overview by Raquel da Silva Justino is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain a double carbon-carbon bond, making them unsaturated. This C=C bond allows alkenes to undergo addition reactions, such as reacting with oxygen or halogens. Alkenes also react through addition when hydrogen is added across the double bond to form alcohols. Alcohols can then undergo further reactions when exposed to sodium, air, water, or through fermentation to form aqueous solutions.
