respec�vely.
o Structures: Alkenes have a double bond (-C=C-) and alkynes have a triple bond (-C≡C-).
o Examples: Ethene (ethylene) is an example of an alkene, while ethyne (acetylene) is an
example of an alkyne.
2. Naming Rules:
o Alkenes: Use the suffix "-ene" in the name of the compound.
o Alkynes: Use the suffix "-yne" in the name of the compound.
o Number the carbon atoms in the longest chain containing the double or triple bond,
star�ng from the end closest to the bond.
o Examples: Ethene (C2H4) is named as ethene, and ethyne (C2H2) is named as ethyne.
3. Cis-Trans Isomerism:
o Defini�on: Cis-trans isomerism refers to the different spa�al arrangements of
subs�tuents around a double bond.
o Cis: When similar subs�tuents are on the same side of the double bond.
o Trans: When similar subs�tuents are on the opposite sides of the double bond.
o Examples: Cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene are examples of cis-trans isomers.
4. Hydrogena�on, Halogena�on, Polymeriza�on, and Triglycerides:

bond.
o Polymeriza�on: Joining of mul�ple monomers to form a polymer.
o Triglycerides: Esters formed from glycerol and three faty acids.
o Examples: Hydrogena�on of ethene forms ethane. Halogena�on of ethene forms 1,2-
dichloroethane. Polymeriza�on of ethene forms polyethylene. Triglycerides are found in
fats and oils.

chain.
o Unsaturated fats: Fats with at least one double bond or triple bond between carbon
atoms in the hydrocarbon chain.
o Monounsaturated fats: Fats with one double bond in the hydrocarbon chain.
o Polyunsaturated fats: Fats with mul�ple double bonds in the hydrocarbon chain.
