The table shows the first four alkenes, their molecular formulae, displayed formulae, structural formulae as well as a drawing of their ball-and-stick constructional models.

For example, ethene reacts with water (in the presence of heat and a catalyst) to produce the alcohol ethanol. Addition polymerisation uses addition reactions to turn alkenes into polymers.
