Question

What Is The First Member Of Alkene Series?

Answer 1

Alkene Series:

• Alkenes are a class of carbon and hydrogen-based molecules with at least one double bond in their carbon chain.
• The compounds in this collection are arranged in a homologous series with the generic molecular formula ${\mathrm{C}}_{\mathrm{n}}{\mathrm{H}}_{2\mathrm{n}}$ where $\mathrm{n}$ represents carbon atoms.

First Member of alkene series:

• The first alkene is ethene, also known as ethylene.
• Its chemical formula is ${\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_4$.
