Answered by Anonymous

Answer:

The number of hydrogen atoms in an alkene is double the number of carbon atoms, so they have the general formula. Alkenes are unsaturated, meaning they contain a double bond . This bond is why the alkenes are more reactive than the alkanes .

Answered by aniketaryan960

Answer:

Alkenes and alkynes are generally more reactive than alkanes due to the electron density available in their pi bonds. In particular, these molecules can participate in a variety of addition reactions and can be used in polymer formation.
