Document Summary

Avery welch organic chemistry chapter 5: functional groups weeks 4-5. Alkenes have a c=c bond (one sigma carbon-carbon bond, one pi carbon-carbon bond: a double bond, one sigma bond and one pi bond, pi bond made up of horizontal adjacent overlap of p-orbitals. Alkenes are usually trigonal planar: sp2 hybrid orbitals. Electron density is concentrated between the carbon atoms, consistent with the idea of pi-bond. A double-bond is shorter than a single bond, which means that the internuclear distance between the two carbon atoms is shorter. The functional group of an alkene is the c=c unit of the alkene. Formula for alkenes: cnh2n (same as cyclic alkanes) Number the chain to give the double-bond the lowest number: sometimes this means giving substituents higher numbers, but they are second-priority for naming after functional groups. Figure 4 is cyclohexene (1-cyclohexene is also correct, but redundant because the double-bond is always numbered 1 if possible)
