  • Alkene
    A hydrocarbon with at least one carbon-carbon double bond, altering its suffix from '-ane' to '-ene'.
  • Double bond
    A chemical bond where two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms, restricting rotation.
  • Geometric isomers
    Compounds with the same formula but different spatial arrangements due to restricted rotation around a double bond.
  • Cis
    Describes substituents on the same side of a double bond in an alkene.
  • Trans
    Describes substituents on opposite sides of a double bond in an alkene.
  • Substituent
    An atom or group of atoms replacing hydrogen in a hydrocarbon chain, affecting naming and properties.
  • Cycloalkene
    A cyclic hydrocarbon containing a double bond, named with 'cyclo' prefix and '-ene' suffix.
  • Numerical prefixes
    Terms like di-, tri-, tetra- used to indicate the number of identical substituents in a compound.
  • Longest carbon chain
    The continuous chain of carbon atoms in a molecule, used as the base for naming alkenes.
  • Methyl group
    A substituent consisting of one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, often denoted as -CH3.
