Hi there!
An alkene has is a molecule which contains a double bond.
An alcohol group (OH) will generally be attached to a carbon atom (α cαrbon). The alcohol is primary if that α carbon atom is attached to only 1 other carbon atom.
The alcohol is secondary if that α carbon atom is attached to 2 other carbon atoms.
The alcohol is tertiary if that α carbon atom is attached to 3 other carbons atoms.
Whenever you're asked to provide the products of a reaction, you're largely expected to write out the end results of the reaction. Sometimes there are multiple reactions which can happen, in which case you'd have to list all the different products.
Hope this helps!

That’s okay! Normally, reactions aren’t referred to as product reactions. But I would assume that it means that the reactions give you certain products, which you may have to list. These compounds can undergo substitution reactions, elimination reactions, and many others. What they give you as the end result, are what are called their products. I really hope this helps!09/04/22

What would be an example of products of a reaction in regard to alkene , a primary and a tertiary alcohol. Im sorry this is still confusing09/04/22
