Definitions:

Cycloalkenes

Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing one or more carbon-carbon double bonds within a cyclic structure.

Unstable

A state of a chemical compound where it has the potential to change or react under certain conditions, often leading to a more energetically favorable state.

Zaitsev's Rule

A rule in chemistry that predicts the preferred alkene product in elimination reactions, favoring the formation of the more substituted alkene.

Heat of Hydrogenation

The change in enthalpy that occurs when a compound is hydrogenated, typically used to measure the stability of unsaturated compounds.
