Write physical properties of alkenes.

Answer»
  • Alkenes are nonpolar or weakly polar compounds that are insoluble in water, and soluble in nonpolar solvents like benzene, ether, chloroform. 
  • They are less dense than water. 
  • The boiling point of alkene rises with increasing number of carbons. 
  • Branched alkenes have lower boiling points than straight chain alkenes. 
  • The boiling point of alkene is very nearly the same as that of alkane with the same carbon skeleton.
