Hydrogenation of Alkenes Over Nickel Catalyst

Alkenes (unsaturated hydrocarbon) get reduced to alkanes in the presence of hydrogen and nickel catalyst into alkanes (saturated hydrocarbon). In this process, nickel catalyst adsorbs the alkene and hydrogen molecules on its surface, and then hydrogen gets attached to alkenes making new sigma bonds and finally converting alkenes into alkanes.
