What is the chemical property of propylene?
What is the physical property of propylene?
and what type of organic chemical compound is it?
Please let me know if you know.
Thanks.

Propylene is a straight-chain hydrocarbon olefin, so it's chemcial properties are that it is oxidizeable, reactive with acids and bases, and polymerizeable (to make plastics)
As for its physical properties, it is a gas at room temperature, is soluble in hydrocarbon solvents, it is flammable, combustible, and has a low flash point, and also has a faint butane-like odor.
As I said above, the type of chemical compound is a straight-chain hydrocarbon olefin.

It adds water to give 2-propanol, isopropyl alcohol. It polymerizes to polypropylene plastic resin.
It is a gas at room temperature.
It is an olefin.

the most representative reaction of alkene is addtitional reaction.
With Halogen, Hydrogen, with HX ( X is halogen element ), with H20.......
another type of addtional reaction of alkene is concured reaction.
concured reaction of propylene
n C-C=C + n C=C-C -> [C-C-C( with a bond )-C( with a bond)-C-C]n
, when alkene burn in air produces CO2, H2O
when reacts with Potassium Permanganate, it produces heat and the color of KMnO4 change from violet to transprent. ( oxidation reaction )
