User talk:MEH88/Cycloalkene

Hi Morgan, here's my peer review:

Summary: Improve upon general structure (cis/trans DB), nomenclature clarification, and expand on properties of cycloalkenes.

Major points: Cycloalkene section: Additions look good and are well thought-out. Perhaps a picture of trans vs cis double bond in a ring would be helpful to readers (can just make two molecules in chemdraw and include names/if cis or trans).

Nomenclature section: Maybe mention naming constituents on the ring since that is ambiguous. Figure showing numbering will be great!

Properties section: First paragraph is a little wordy which makes it hard to understand with just one reading if possible edit to make the language more concise. Also maybe I am confusing this but wouldn’t a larger angle decrease strain? Like cyclohexane is more stable than cyclopentane since the angles are bigger and less strain? Maybe include an explanation for why larger angles increase strain to clarify. For melting point section, maybe mention intermolecular forces as well.

Minor points:

As mentioned, make the wording as concise as possible to be clear.

Overall, great work! I’m surprised that such a common topic (cycloalkenes) is so lacking, these improvements will help a lot!
