organic chemistry

?
Alkenes are hydrocarbons, 4 points about hydrocarbons.
made up of hydrogen and carbon ONLY. same chemical properties, general formula and their physical properties gradually change, different alkanes have chains of different lengths.
1 of 8
names of first 5 alkanes.
methane, CH4. Ethane, C2H6. propane, C3H8. pentane, C5H12. butane C4H10.
2 of 8
Alkane general formula?
CnH2n+2
3 of 8
complete combustion is when there is plenty of oxygen, whats the equation?
alkane+oxygen--> C02+ water (+energy) BURNS WITH BLUE FLAME
4 of 8
incomplete combustion happens when theres a lack of oxygen, whats the equation?
alkane+oxygen-->carbon + carbon monoxide+carbon dioxide+water. BURNS WITH SMOKY YELLOW FLAME.
5 of 8
Describe what happens when halogens react with alkanes to make haloalkanes.
halogens react with alkane in presence of ultra violet, in these reactions a hydrogen atom from the alkane is substituted by chlorine or bromine, so this is a substitution reaction.
6 of 8
3 points on alkenes.
hydrocarbons with =. unsaturated molecules because they can make more bonds. CnH2n
7 of 8
Halogens can react with alkenes to make? why are these called additional reactions?
haloalkenes, because the = bond is split and a halogen atom is added to each of the carbons.
