Question

What is the most common reaction of alkenes?

Answer 1

• The addition reaction is the most common chemical reaction that alkenes have.
• The inclusion of additional functional groups converts a carbon-carbon double bond $\left(\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{C}\right)$ into a single bond in this process.
• Several organic and inorganic chemicals can be employed to initiate these reactions and add appropriate functional groups on either side of the carbon-carbon double bond.
