==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Alkene]]s are [[hydrocarbon]] [[compound]]s with one [[Double Bond|double bond]] and the [[General Formula (Chemistry)|general formula]]; C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>2n</sub>

===About Alkenes===
: [[Alkene]]s are a [[Homologous Series|homologous series]] of [[hydrocarbon]] [[compound]]s.
: The [[Functional Group|functional group]] of the [[Alkene]]s is the [[Double Bond|double bonds]] between the [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s.
: [[Alkene]]s are long chains of [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s [[Covalent Bond|covalently bonded]] together with [[Double Bond|double]] and [[Single Bond|single bonds]] and [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s taking the remaining [[Chemical Bond|bonds]].
