Pentene (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pentene refers to all the alkenes with chemical formula C5H10. Each contains one double bond within its molecular structure. There are a total of five different compounds in this class, differing from each other by whether the carbon atoms are attached linearly or in a branched structure, and whether the double bond has a cis or trans form.1-Pentene is an alpha-olefin. Most often 1-pentene is made as a byproduct of catalytic or thermal cracking of petroleum, or during production of ethylene and propylene via thermal cracking of hydrocarbon fractions.
