The butterfly mechanism describes how peroxyacids react with these compounds to form epoxides, and they can be cleaved to form ketones in ozonolysis. The polymerization of polystyrene works because polystyrene is one of these compounds. Like their sp-hybridized counterparts, they add substituents to the more substituted carbon according to Markovnikov's rule. They cannot be rotated around their identifying bond because it is formed by the overlap of nonhybridized p orbitals. Examples of them include ethylene and butene. For 10 points, name this

For 10 points, name this class of hydrocarbons with formula CnH2n (read spelled out), distinguished by having at least one carbon-carbon double bond.
