Document Summary
Alkenes o: hydrocarbons with double bonds used to be known as olefins, because they had an oily. Double bonds are stronger and more reactive than single bonds. They are hydrocarbons with a c=c double bond appearance. ficare means make o o o o o o o. Isomers: geometric isomers have the same molecular formula, but a different geometric arrangement. This is because the double bond in an alkene cannot twist very much, so there are two distinct geometric configurations. The two isomers are generally named cis and trans. cis means the same, which is because the cis isomer will have some important molecular group on the same side of the molecule (think about what c4h8 looks like) trans means opposite, so the important molecular groups will be on opposite sides of the molecule f, are the change in heat for some system when a: heats of formation, denoted as ho molecule is formed.
