Alkenes/Alkanes Flashcards
What is Markowniff’s rule and why does it occur
Hydrogen gets attached to the carbon with most hydrogen attached to it –> most stable carbocation intermediate
When does a E and Z isomer occur
When Each C atom of the double bond is attached to 2 different groups of atoms
what is the defenition of homologous series
series of orgnaic compound having the same functional group but with each successive member different by ch2
what is the catalysts required when you and turning an alkene into an alkane via H2
Nickel catalyst
What is the reagent and conditions for adding water to an alkene to make an alcohol
Steam(reagent) and acid catalyst
What is an advantage and disadvantage of isomg combustion as a dispoasl method for waste polymers
Advantage: Energy Production
Disadvantage: Formation of HCl`
What is the defenition of electrophile
Electron pair acceptor
What are 3 ways that waste polymers can be processed in a sustainable way
Combustion
Recycling
Used as Organic Feedstock
How do you converted Alkene into Alkane
Add H2 reagent and nickel catalyst
What is a difference between a pi and sigma bond
Sigma bond is between bonding atoms and pi bonds exist above and below bonding atoms
Why do some compounds not have E/Z Isomers?
One carbon atom is attached to two groups which are the same
What is PTFE
PolyTetraFluoroEthene
What is meant by the term structural isomeres
Having same molecular formula but different structural formula
What does curly arrows represent in a curly arrow diagram
Movement of a pair of electrons
What are 2 advantages of polymers made from natural foods
They are Biodegradable and they do not produce toxic gases on combustion
