What are the first 4 alkanes?
Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane
1 of 7
Are alkanes saturated or unsaturated?
They are saturated (No C=C double bond)
2 of 7
Explain how bromine water is used to distinguish between alkanes and alkenes
Alkenes -> turn bromine water from orange to colourless Alkanes-> no change
3 of 7
What is produced during the complete combustion of alkanes/alkenes?
Carbon dioxide + water (Carbon and hydrogen are oxidised)
4 of 7
What is a polymer?
A polymer is a substance of high average relative molecular mass made up of small repeating units
5 of 7
What is the process used to make polymers?
Addition polymerisation
6 of 7
Can saturated hydrocarbons become polymers?
No only unsaturated hydrocarbons can - you need the C=C double bond
