The difference between an alkyl group and an alkenyl group is
this: an alkyl group is a group containing a carbon-hydrogen bond,
obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from an alkane which has a
carbon-carbon single bond. An alkenyl group is deprived from an alkene
which has a carbon-carbon double bond.
