A chemical compound formed when an alkene reacts with another substance; a product of alkene addition reactions.
From alkene + -ide (a suffix denoting chemical compounds, especially binary compounds). This systematic term follows standard organic chemistry nomenclature rules.
Alkides represent one of the fundamental reactions in chemistry—that C=C double bond is desperate to become two single bonds, so it grabs onto other molecules, a process that created modern petrochemistry.
