Introduction to Alkenes

Structural displayed formulae of ethene and propene

Alkenes are a homologous series, or family, of hydrocarbons. Like alkanes, they contain only carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms. However, they differ significantly in their bonding.

Alkenes

Step-by-step lessons covering CIE IGCSE Chemistry Alkenes for Core and Extended tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 3 (Core) or Paper 2 and Paper 4 (Extended), plus Paper 5 or Paper 6 format. Build a solid grasp of atomic structure, bonding and the mole concept early, since these underpin almost every other topic, then move on to the more calculation-heavy quantitative and organic chemistry content.
