16
Q

Essential condition for free radical substitution

A

UV light
Provides the energy needed to break the halogen - halogen bond and start the reaction

17
Q

Free - radical

A

Species with an unpaired electron
species - a thing

18
Q

Mechanism of CH4+Cl2 –> CH3Cl + HCl

A

Initiation : Cl2 –> 2Cl.
Propagation 1 : Cl. + CH4 –> .CH3 + HCl
Propagation 2 : .CH3 + Cl2 –> CH3Cl + Cl.
Termination : .CH3 + C. –> CH3Cl
2Cl. –> Cl2
2.CH3 –> CH3CH3

19
Q

Initiation

A

Using UV light to break the halogen - halogen bond to make 2 free radicals

20
Q

Propagation step 1

A

2 free radicals produced takes a H from alkane
Turns alkane into free radical and a hydrogen halide

21
Q

Propagation step 2

A

Alkyl radical takes a halogen from a halogen molecule
Forms a haloalkane and reproduces a halogen free-radical

22
Q

Termination

A

Two free radicals combine

23
Q

What are CFC’s

A

Haloalkanes with both chlorine and fluorine

24
Q

Ozone breakdown mechanism

A

I: CCl3F –> Cl. + .CCl2F
P1: Cl. + O3 –> .ClO + O2
P2 : .ClO + O3 –> 2O2 + .Cl

25
Q

Why are CFC’s so damaging to the ozone layer?

A

Cl. is regenerated in the final propagation causing a chain reaction in the decomposition of the ozone

26
Q

Why does 1,1,1 - trifluoroethane not lead to the depletion of the ozone in the upper atmosphere?

A

It doesn’t contain Cl
C-F bonds are very strong and don’t break

27
Q

Curly arrows

A

Double headed show pair of electrons
From bond or lone pair to atom or point where bond is being made

28
Q

Nucleophile

A

Electron pair donor

29
Q

A

OH-
CN-
NH3
They all have a lone pair to donate

30
Q

A

Reagent - NaOH or KOH
Conditions - Aqueous solvent
Product - Alcohol

31
Q

Nucleophilic substitution by CN-

A

Reagent - CN
Conditions - Water and ethanol solvent
Product - Nitrile

32
Q

Nucleophilic substitution by NH3

A

3 steps

33
Q

A

White / AgCl

34
Q

Bromopropane

A

Cream / AgBr

35
Q

Iodopropane

A

Yellow / AgI

36
Q

Weakest bond

A

C-I
Fastest reaction

37
Q

Strongest bond

A

C-Cl
Slowest reaction

38
Q

Elimination

A

Reagent - NaOH or KOH
Conditions - ethanol solvent
Product - alkene
OH- acts as a base
Forms two products - one is usually an E/Z isomer
