alkenes: definitions

Question 1

structural isomers

Answer 1

Molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae

Question 2

Stereoisomerism

Answer 2

Molecules with the same structural formulae but different arrangements of atoms in space

Question 3

geometric isomerism

Answer 3

A type of stereoisomerism where there is a C=C Bond and two different groups are bonded to each carbon atom

Question 4

hydrogenation

Answer 4

electrophilic addition reaction of hydrogen and alkenes

Question 5

halogenation

Answer 5

electrophilic addition reaction of halogens and alkenes

Question 6

hydration

Answer 6

electrophilic addition reaction of water and alkene

Question 8

electrophile

Answer 8

lone pair acceptor (has an empty orbital)

Question 9

carbocation [intermediate]

Answer 9

positively charged carbon ion [formed during alkene electrophilic addition reactions)

Question 10

major and minor product alkenes

Answer 10

the two products of an electrophilic addition reaction
major product formed via the more stable carbocation intermediate
