    • Reaction Mechanisms/Reactions
      • Shows movement of electrons
        • Double headed arrow - 2 electrons
        • single headed arrow - one electron
      • Electrophile - a substance that accepts a lone pair of electrons
      • Hydrogenation
        • Alkene reacts with hydrogen
      • Halogenation
        • Alkene reacts with  halogen  to create dihaloalkene
      • Hydrogen Halides
        • Reacts with alkene to create haloalkene
      • Homolytic fission
        • 1 electron to each atom to form 2 free radicals
      • heterolytic fission
        • 2 electrons go to one atom  to form 2 ions
      • free radical - highly reactive substance with an unpaired valence electron
        • Homolytic fission
          • 1 electron to each atom to form 2 free radicals
    • Polymerisation
      • addition polymerisation
        • monomer is unsaturated with a double bond (C=C)
        • pi bonds break to join with other monomers
        • Disposal (non-biodegradable)
          • landfill
          • recycling
          • incineration
      • Representing polymers
        • monomer in square brackets
        • show polymer through use of the letter n
        • sigma bonds end outside the square brackets
        • Add "poly" in front of monomer name
          • Monomer - propene   Polymer - polypropane
    • Isomers
      • Structural
        • Same molecular formula - different structural formula
          • different carbon chains
          • eg C4H10
            • Butane
            • 2-methylpropane
        • Positional Isomer
          • Functional group in different place but functional group doesn't change
          • eg C4H9Br
            • 3-bromobutane
            • 1-bromobutane
        • Functional Isomer
          • Same molecular formula but functional group changes
          • eg C2H6O
            • ethanol
            • methoxymethane
      • Sterioisomeris
        • only in alkenes
        • Dependent on position of atoms around a double bond
        • Cis-trans
          • Cis/trans subset of E/Z
          • requires two attached groups to be the same
          • cis- same side
          • Trans -opposite side
        • E/Z
          • Cis/trans subset of E/Z
          • priority of groups on the carbon
          • Z - priority on same side of the carbon
          • Priority on opposite side of carbon
