Functional group of alkene
C==C
What is a hydrocarbon
A molecule only containing hydrogen and carbon
Saturated meaning
Contains only single bonded atoms eg alkanes
What is a haloalkane
An alkane (C—C bonds) with one or more halogens bonded to it
Difference between an alkane and an alkene
Alkanes have C—C and and alkenes have C==C bonds
Alkanes functional group
C—C
Primary haloalkanes
When the carbon bonded to halogen is only connected to one other alkyl group
Secondary haloalkanes
When the carbon bonded to the halogen is bonded to 2 alkyl groups
Tertiary haloalkanes
When the carbon bonded to the halogen is connected to 3 alkyl groups
