Carbons have the beautiful ability to have multiple bonds between them. This learning module will introduce the double and triple bond functional groups as well as a special triene called benzene. These magic double bonds do addition chemistry when they are alone and substitution chemistry in the case of benzene. This is our first look at how functional groups can react even when the alkane parts will not react at all.
If you remove two hydrogens from adjacent carbons in an alkane and then create a double bond between the carbons, you have made a more reactive functional group called the alkene. Do it again, and a triple bond is formed. These two do very similar chemistry called addition reactions. Lastly, place three double bonds in a six membered ring and a special functional group in aromatic compounds are created. These have special chemistry different from the individual multiple bonds. Keep your eyes on it.
