Allene
An Allene is an hydrocarbon in which one atom of carbon is connected by double bonds with two other atoms of carbon.
The simplest allene is propyl allene:
Such pair of bonds make allene much more reactive than other alkenes. For example their reactivity with gaseous chlorine is more like reactivity of alkynes than other alkanes.
