7 of 17
Chlorine undergoes ___(a)___ fission under __(b)__ to begin a ______(c)______ reaction
(a) Homolytic (b) UV light (c) Free radical substitution
8 of 17
The C=C double bond is....
... not quite twice as strong as the C-C bond, due to the presence of the pi bond
9 of 17
What is the catalyst for the hydration of ethene into ethanol?
Phosphoric acid
10 of 17
What is the C=C bond attacked by in addition reactions?
An electrophile, such as H (d+)
11 of 17
Why is 2-Bromopropane the major product of the reaction of propene and HBr?

PCl5
15 of 17
What is the difference between a ketone and an aldehyde?
A ketone has an C=O group in the middle of it's molcule, thus with an alkyl group on each side. In an aldehyde the C=O is found at the end of the molecule with an H and an alkyl group
