Monday, october 5, 2015 at 4:46 pm alkene. A hydrocarbon that contains a carbon carbon double bond, Steam cracking is an example of a reaction whose energetics are dominated by entropy rather than by enthalpy in the free-energy equation . Alkenes are referred to as unsaturated. degree of unsaturation. The number of rings and/or multiple bonds in a molecule. For example, the formula c4h6br2 is equivalent to the hydrocarbon formula c4h8 and thus corresponds to one degree of unsaturation. Organooxygen compounds (c,h,o ) oxygen forms two bonds, so it doesn"t affect the formula of an equivalent hydrocarbon and can be ignored when calculating the degree of unsaturation. You can convince yourself of this by seeing what happens when an oxygen atom is inserted into an alkane bond: c-c becomes c-o-c or c-h becomes c-o-h , and there is no change in the number of hydrogen atoms.
