Q

what are the reaction of alkenes and why?

A

very reactive due to presence of the C=C double bond which undergoes addition reaction. addition reactions the C=C bond becomes a C-C single bond and other atoms join onto C atoms.
alkenes also burn. too valuable for making polymers and tends to undergo incomplete combustion with Smokey flames.
