Bond Angles in Alkenes and AlkynesAccording to VSEPR theory: Three groups in a double
bond are bonded at 120° angles.
Alkenes are flat, because the atoms in a double bond lie in the same plane.
The groups attached to a triple bond are at 180° angles. Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc.

Naming Alkenes
Look and study the names of the following alkenes
Alkene IUPAC Common
H2C=CH2 ethene ethylene
H2C=CH─CH3 propene propylene
cyclohexene
CH2=CH─CH2─CH3 1-butene
CH3─CH=CH─CH3 2-butene
How is the naming of alkenes done? Talk over with your group members

Naming Alkynes
Now, let’s look at the case of alkynes. Naming is done in
a fashion similar to that of alkenes.
Alkyne IUPAC Common

Summary: Naming Alkenes and Alkynes
Okay, so let’s summarize the rules for naming alkenes and alkynes. Here is what we do:
Name the longest carbon chain with a double or triple bond
Indicate the location of the double or triple bond in the main chain by number, starting at the end closer to the double or triple bond
Cycloalkenes do not require the numerical prefix but the bonds are given numbers 1 and 2
Give the location and name of each substituent (alphabetical order) as a prefix to the name

Cis and Trans Isomers
In an alkene, cis and trans isomers are possible
because the double bond Is rigid.
Cannot rotate.
Has groups attached to the carbons of the double bond that are fixed relative to each other.
CH3 CH3 CH3
CH = CH CH = CH
cis trans CH3
12
Cis-trans isomers occur when
different groups are attached to
the double bond.
In a cis isomer, groups are attached on the same side of the double bond.
In the trans isomer, the groups are attached on opposite sides.
Cis-Trans Isomers

Cis-Trans Isomerism
Cis-trans isomers do not occur if a carbon atom in the double bond is attached to identical groups.

Hydrogenation of Oils

21
Trans Fats
In vegetable oils, the unsaturated fats usually contain
cis double bonds.
During hydrogenation, some cis double bonds are converted to trans double bonds (more stable) causing a change in the fatty acid structure
If a label states “partially” or “fully hydrogenated”, the fats contain trans fatty acids.
