Alkenes alkenes polymers Flashcards
1
Q
What are alkanes
A
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons
2
Q
What is the functional group
A
A group of atoms that determines how a molecule will react
3
Q
What are alkanes
A
A homologous series of hydrocarbons with wonderful carbon functional group (C=C)
4
Q
Are alkenes saturated on saturated
A
They are unsaturated because the double carbon bond can open up, allowing the 2 carbon atoms to bond with other atoms
5
Q
What is the general formula for alkenes
A
C(n)H(2n)
6
Q
How can we test for alkenes
A
Using bromine water. When shaken together alkene will discolour bromine water from Orange to colourless
7
Q
What do we get when alkanes and alkenes are burnt
A
Allâmes and alkenes are hydrocarbons so they will give use carbon dioxide + water after COMPLETE combustion
