Molecular Geometry of CH4
Tetrahedral
Hydrocarbons in gasoline
Pentane to octane - 5 to 8 carbons
Definition of alkene
A hydrocarbon in which there is at least one double bond between the carbons.
The definition of “unsaturated”
Contain less hydrogen than the alkanes.
Definition of cis isomers
Alkenes have the carbons in the chain on the same side of the molecule.
Definition of trans isomers
Alkenes have the carbons in the opposite sides of the molecule.
Molecular Geometry in alkanes
