Whats the general formula for alkenes |
CnH2n |
|
|
Why are molecules with C=C double bonds unsaturated |
Because they can make more bonds with extra atoms in addition reactions |
|
|
What happens in electrophilic addition |
The double bonds open up and atoms are added to the carbon atoms Electrophilic addition reactions happen because the double bond has plenty of electrons and it is easily attacked by electrophiles |
|
|
What are electrophilies |
They are electron pair acceptors |
|
|
What happens when alkenes undergo electrophilic addition reactions with hydrogen halides |
Its forms halogenoalkanes |
|
|
How many possible products are there from an unsymmetrical alkene |
2 possible products |
|
|
What is carbocation |
It is the amount of product each product forms depending on how stable the carbocations formed in the middle of the reaction |
|
|
How can you convert alkyl hydrogen sulfates formed into alcohols |
By adding water and warming the reaction mixture |
