Properties and Uses of Alkenes

The video tutorial explores the properties, reactions, and applications of alkenes. It covers their physical states, solubility, and density, as well as their boiling and melting points. The reactivity of alkenes is discussed, focusing on addition reactions and the role of isomers. The video explains Markovnikov's and anti-Markovnikov's rules, hydration, and reactions with sulfuric acid. It also covers combustion, oxidation, polymerization, and isomerization processes. Finally, the video highlights the industrial applications of alkenes, including their use in manufacturing solvents, plastics, and artificial ripening agents.
