Boiling Point of Common Alkenes
The boiling point of alkenes, which are unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon double bond, generally increases with the molecular size and mass of the alkene.
The following table provides a curated list of boiling point values for common alkenes under one atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
