1
Q
define alkene
A
unsaturated hydrocarbon
2
Q
are double or single bonds stronger?
A
double bonds
3
Q
are alkenes or alkanes more reactive?
A
alkenes
4
Q
why are alkenes more reactive than alkanes?
A
- unsaturated means there is a scope to add atoms
- double bond has high electron density which makes it easier to be attacked by electrophiles
5
Q
why don’t double bonds rotate?
A
due to the pi bond
6
Q
what is an addition polymer?
A
a long chain formed from many monomers and no other product is formed
