PHYSICAL STATE OF ALKENES

[Ahmed-Azurus]

can any1 tell me if we can predict physical state of ALKENES?



PLEASE DONT POST ABOUT ALKANES CUZ I KNOW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LoayTYS]

The first four members are gases and the rest are liquids
I am not sure if there are solid alkenes but there might be as the number of carbon atoms increase

Yup....wht u said is right! The physical state depends on molecular mass!
From ethene to butene they're gases - liquids from pentene onwards!

can we tell also that it turn from red brown to colourless when we add bromine solution

 

[M.S.Princess93]

and i want also the phsical properties of alkanes

 

[LoayTYS]

@ M.S.Princess93 yes you can say that since alkenes have C=C double bond
as four alkanes the first four members(Methane,Ethane,Propane and Butane) are gases and then from pentane they are liquids

If in doubt of anything else with regards to this topic please ask

correction loay

C1 -C5 GASES
C6 - C15 LIQUIDS
C16 - MORE SOLIDS



BTW THX FOR POSTIN PHYSICAL STATE OF ALKENES
