Molecules known as olefins have double bonds, or alkenes, between two carbon atoms. The atoms, and those attached to them, ...

"It destroys creativity when we have rules that supposedly can't be overcome," the California-based researchers said.

The rule says it is impossible for these compounds to have a double bond connected to the carbon ... group are continuing to explore the world of alkenes that have “messed-up geometries ...

Molecules known as olefins have double bonds, or alkenes, between two carbon atoms. The atoms, and those attached to them, ordinarily lie in the same 3D plane. Molecules that deviate from this ...

The carbons of the alkene functional group, the site of unsaturation, are in the rounded rectangle. Since there is only one double bond, oleic acid is an example of a monounsaturated fatty acid.

(colorless) (purple) (colorless) (brown ppt.) Reaction of an alkene with aqueous potassium permanganate results in addition of two hydroxyl groups to each side of the double bond to form a glycol. To ...
