A unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains at least one double bond
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to squeeze more items into an already full closet. This is similar to the concept of an alkene, which is an unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains at least one double bond, because just as you find creative ways to fit more clothes by rearranging or stacking them, alkenes have double bonds that allow for more flexibility and reactivity, enabling them to form new connections easily. The closet is like the carbon chain, where the double bond acts like the space-saving strategy, creating potential for rearrangement and new additions, similar to how alkenes can undergo reactions due to their unsaturated nature.
