|
Activation energy |
The energy needed to make the particles react by hitting each other. |
|
|
|
Endothermic |
Takes in heat from environment therefore Delta h positive (energy in system increasing) |
|
|
|
Exothermic |
Puts out energy, therefore Delta h negative (energy in system decreasing) |
|
|
|
Free radical |
Initiation: radicals created. Propagation: radicals react but number of radicals remains the same. Termination: radicals used up. |
Three steps |
|
|
Electrophilic addition |
The electrophile is attracted to the double bond. It reacts to one of the carbons, and whatever it was bonded to bonds with the other carbon. |
|
|
|
Nucleophilic substitution |
The slightly positive carbon attracts a negative ion, which replaces the slightly negative thing bonded to the carbon. |
|
|
|
Elimination |
The HO ion bonds with a hydrogen, creating a carbon carbon double bond which removes another thing (not normally hydrogen) from the carbon. |
|
|
|
Deydradtion |
Is a special case of elimination when H2O is eliminated. An alcohol turns into an alkene. |
