Alkenes
Hydrocarbons containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond, characterized by their unsaturated nature.
Reaction Products
The substances formed by the chemical change that occurs during a reaction, resulting from the rearrangement of atoms and bonds in reactants.
Mechanisms
The detailed processes or series of steps by which chemical reactions occur, explaining the breaking and making of bonds.
