Alkanes and Alkenes Flashcards
In both Alkanes & Alkenes what happens to their boiling points when they have big molecules?
The melting and boiling points get higher.
Do alkanes have similar chemical reactions?
Yes
what happens to small molecules when reacted? Do they react more or less vigorously?
All alkanes with small molecules react more vigorously
What happens to large molecules in the homologous series when reacted? Do they react more or less vigorously?
They react but less vigorously.
What is does saturated mean?
Full of hydrogens this happens only in alkanes
What is unsaturated?
Alkenes are unsaturated have to less hydrogens.
How to establish if something is an alkane or alkene
if it reacts with bromine water it is an alkene not a alkane
What is used with alkenes and alkanes
Alkanes is used in combustion substitution and Alkenes is used in combustion addition.
How do the alkenes and alkanes react with bromine water
Alkenes goes clear in bromine water but alkanes don’t.
