Alkanes

Question 1

are alkanes saturated or unsturated?

Answer 1

saturated as no C=C

Question 2

reactions that alkanes do?

Answer 2

• Nucleophilic Substotution

Question 3

Shape of alkanes

Answer 3

tetrahedral, can rotate

Question 4

trend in boiling point for alkanes

Answer 4

as chain length increase, boiling . increase
as more e- and SA so stronger london
- but branching decreases this

Question 5

Complete Combusion of Alkane products?

Answer 5

CO2 + H2O

Question 6

Incomplete Combustion of Alkanes?

Answer 6

CO + C + H20

Question 7

Alkane + Halogen in detail

Answer 7

Nucleophilic Subsotution
- Initation, Halogen with UV has homolytic fission
- Propogation, One halide radical joins with H, form HX
- Termination, other halide radical joins with the CH3 radical to form haloalkane
