10A Flashcards
what are addition reactions
when two spices combine together to form a single product species
what is an elimination reaction
it is when two atoms or groups are removed from their neighboring carbon atoms, leading to a formation of a double bond
what is the general equation of elimination reactions
page 262
what is a common reaction of elimination reaction between bromoethane and ethanolic potassium hydroxide (need to know)
CH3CH2Br + KOH ——> CH2=CH2 + KBr + H2O
what are the 7 different types of organic relations
- addition
- reduction
- elimination
- oxidation
- hydrolysis
- polymerization
- substitution
what is a substitution reaction
it is when an atom or a group replaces another atom or group, where two reactants would add up to form two products that are usually molecules or ions
what is the difference between substitution and displacement reactions
displacement reactions are transfers of electrons (redox) while the sub isn’t
what are the two different oxidizing agents we know and their jobs
acidified potassium manganate (IIV) = oxidizing alkene to di oil
acidified potassium dichromate= oxidizes a primary or secondary alcohol
what is an oxidation reaction
the addition of oxygen or the removal of hydrogen
what is a reduction reaction
the addition of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen
what is hydrolysis reactions
it is when an organic compound reacts with water, where the OH group in water substitute an atom or group in the organic compound
what is the general equation for hydrolysis reactions
RX + H2O —–> ROH + HX
what is polymerization reactions
when a large number of reactant molecules react together to form one large product
what is the general reaction of polymerization
page 263
what is a mechanism
it is a sequence of two or more steps, where each step is represented by an equation to show how the reaction takes place
