Alkenes

?
what is the general formula of an alkene
CnH2n
1 of 22
is an alkene saturated or unsaturated
unsaturated
2 of 22
what is the bond angle of a C=C double bond
120
3 of 22
What does a double covalent bond consist of
A sigma bond and a pi bond
4 of 22
Why are pi bonds vulnerable to electrophiles
They are exposed and have a high electron density
5 of 22
what is an electrophile
an electron pair acceptor
6 of 22
what is an addition reaction
a reaction where two molecules are added together to make one
7 of 22
Describe briefly the reaction the reaction of bromine with alkenes
Br2 molecule approaches the alkene Pi bond electrons repel br2 molecules inducing a dipole and Br2 becomes polar.
8 of 22
Describe briefly the reaction of alkenes with hydrogen bromide
There is a dipole in HBr because of electronegativity the partially positive H+ is attracted to the more electron rich pi bond
9 of 22
What is Markownikoffs rule
In most cases bromine will be attracted to the carbon with the least hydrogens around it.
10 of 22
what is the order of stabilities for carbocations
tertiary>secondary>primary
11 of 22
how is the major product formed in electrophilic addition
It is by the more stable carbocation
12 of 22
Describe briefly the reaction of alkenes with sulphuric acid
The alkene is changed into alkyl hydrogensulphate this is then hydrolysed to form an alcohol
13 of 22
what is the H2SO4 in the reaction
It is a catalyst as it is regenerated
14 of 22
describe the test for alkenes using bromine water
Bromine water will decolourise in the presence of a double bond
15 of 22
how are addition polymers formed
formed from alkenes and substituted alkenes
16 of 22
when should you add a lower case n when drawing addition polymers
when there are many repeating units
17 of 22
how should you draw an addition polymer
draw out the monomers with groups of atoms arranged around the double bond
18 of 22
why are polyalkenes unreactive
it is due to the long C-C and C-H bonds.
19 of 22
describe some of the properties of polychloroethene
waterproof,electrical insulator and doesn't react with acids
20 of 22
what are the uses of of polychloroethene
used to make window frames and guttering
21 of 22
what happens if a plasticiser is added to polychloroethene
intermolecular forces are weakened which allows the chain to move more easily
