This functional group differs from those seen so far in that it lacks strongly polarized covalent bonds. Instead, its reactivity arises from special characteristics of electrons in so-called
bonds. The properties of these electrons and their consequences are discussed in the next chapter. Chapter 11 is restricted to a general description of alkenes as a compound class and a presentation of methods of preparation of double bonds. Most of the reactions are ones you have already seen because the major methods of alkene syntheses are the same elimination reactions of alcohols and haloalkanes that were presented in Chapters 7 and 9. Only some finer details have been added. This chapter also introduces infrared spectroscopy, a useful tool for qualitative identification of functional groups, and mass spectrometry, the best method for determining molecular composition.
