| alkanes that do not have isomers | CH4, C2H6, C3H8 |
| alkene characteristics | 1. are unsaturated (have at least 1 double bond), and can have addition reactions, polymerization reactions and oxidation reactions; 2. can have constitutional and geometric isomers |
| geometric isomers of alkenes | cis (boat shape), trans (chair shape) |
| addition reactions of alkenes | pi bond is broken and two atoms can be added to the molecule |
| types of additional reactions of alkenes | 1. addition of H2 (hydrogenation); 2. addition of a halogen (halogenation); 3. addition of HCl, HBr or HI; 4. addition of H20 (hydration) |
| Markovnikov's Rule | in addition of HX to pi bond of alkene, H goes to C with more H and X goes to C with less H |
| alkyne characteristics | unsaturated and can undergo addition reactions |
| types of alkyne addition reactions | 1. H2 (hydrogenation); 2. halogen (halogenation); 3. HX; 4. water (hydration) |

| oxidation | removing a hydrogen or adding an oxygen to a compound |
| reduction | adding a hydrogen or removing an oxygen to a compound |
| hydrating an alkene | adding H2O to a pi bond; creates alcohol |
