1
Q

Alkyne Def

Q

Lindlar’s Catalyst Functions

A

Only allows alkynes to be hydrogenated to alkenes in cis configuration (substituents added on same side of bond)

Q

Markinov Outline

A

the H attaches to the atom with the most H already attached. In alkynes both Hs are attached to the same c and both halogens are attached to the same C

Q

Formation of trans isomers

A

Addition without Lindlr catalysts. Bromine is a big atom and it’s charge (electrons in pi bonds) repels other so other atom attaches on opposite side

16
Q

What type of substances are terminal alkynes

A

Weak acid. Adding a strong base makes it donate a proton forming a conjugatde base. Accepts positive atom of other molecule being added and proton is accepted by remaining negative atom

17
Q

How do you determine if a reaction is not addition

A

If more then 1 molecule at the end of the reaction

18
Q

How are covalent bonds determined

A

Dipoles

19
Q

Hydrogen Bonds

A

Non-ionic, interactions between H atom and highly electronegative atoms (F,O,N)

20
Q

H bonding in water and molecules

A

Forces cause an increase in melting and boiling points
