sigma bond joins
carbon to 4 other atoms
sigma bond
overlap of 2 orbitals (which each contain one electron) the bond has 2 shared electrons one from each orbital
tetrahedral shape in alkanes
the repulsion of atoms around a carbon result in 3d tetrahedral arrangement
how does the sigma bond affect movement of atoms
allow atoms to rotate freely so they can make different shapes. Shapes are not rigid
how is boiling point of alkanes affected by chain length
bp increases with chain length as the sa increases and there are more surface points of contact resulting in Greater London forces
how is boiling point of alkanes affected by branches
branched isomers have lower bp
1. fewer surface point of contact between molecules and weaker London forces
2. the shape means the branches get in the way and prevent molecules form getting as close as when straight, weaker lld forces
incomplete combustion products
co/c and water
complete combustion products
co2 and water
bromination of methane initiation reaction
br-br=br+br
bromination of methane step 1 propagation
Br.+ch4=hBr+ch3.
bromination of methane step 2 propagation
Ch3.+Br2=Ch3Br+Br.
shape of alkene
trignal planar
120
3 regions of density around each carbon
3 regions repel each other
stereoisomer
same structural formula but different arrangement of the atoms in space
why are alkenes more reactive than alkanes
1 sigma and pi bonds
2 sigma bonds concentrated above and below plane of sigma so more exposed to electrons
3 pi bond breaks more readily
4 alkanes have low polarity of sigma bond
5 alkane has high bond enthalpies of c-c and c-H bonds
heterolytic fission
covalent bond is broken shared pair of electrons taken by one of the atoms
homiletic fission
one electron goes with each atom when covalent bond is split
disposing polymers
unreative saturated back bone makes It de biodegradable
pvc recycling
pvc is hazardous as high in chlorine
when burnt releases hydrogen chloride a corrosive gas
feed stock recycling
Feedstock recycling is where waste polymers are broken down, by chemical and thermal processes, into monomers, gases and oils
These products are then used as the raw materials in the production of new polymers and other organic chemicals
The major benefit of feedstock recycling, compared to other methods of polymer disposal, is that it works with unsorted and unwashed polymers
Homologous series
A homologous series is a group of organic compounds that have the same functional group, but each successive member differs by CH2
