- Alkenes have a general formula CnH₂n and contain a C=C double bond
- The double bond consists of sigma and pi bonds, with the pi bond having a weaker electrostatic attraction
- Alkenes have physical properties such as planar structure and restricted rotation, leading to the formation of stereoisomers
- Alkenes are highly reactive due to their high electron density and the reactivity of the pi bond
- The unique structure of double bonds in alkenes makes them more reactive and gives them their distinct chemical and physical properties in organic chemistry
