"We turn our attention to alkenesand alkynes, compounds that contain one and two π bonds, respectively. Because π bonds are easily broken, alkenes and alkynes undergo addition, the third general type of organic reaction. These multiple bonds also make carbon atoms electron rich, so alkenes and alkynes react with a wide variety of electrophilic reagents in addition reactions."
