Halogenoalkanes

?
What is a halogenoalkane?
Halogenoalkanes are alkanes with halogen atoms
1 of 8
Describe one factor which influences the boiling points of halogenoalkanes
The strength of the intermolecular forces (the stronger they are the higher the boiling point).
2 of 8
Describe the trend of the boiling points as you go down Group 7
The atom radius increases as you go down the group which mean the number of electron shells increases meaning you need more energy to overcome them.
3 of 8
What homologous series can be used to create halogenoalkanes?
Alcohols
4 of 8
What is a nucleophile?
Molecules with a pair of negative ions attracted to positive regions. Also have lone pairs such as O-H.
5 of 8
What is a carbocation?
Ion with a positive carbon atom
6 of 8
Why is the carbon-halogen bond polar?
The halogens are much more electronegative than carbon
7 of 8
What decides the reactivity of a halgenoalkane?
The strength between the carbon-halogen bond. C-F is the strongest meaning any reaction involving this will take longer
