Q

Which hydrocarbon can do electrophillic addition

A

Alkenes because their pi bind is an accessible cloud of electron density and so is attacked by electrophiles

Q

Steps for the reaction between a SECONDARY or TERTIARY Halogenoalkanes with hydroxide ions Sn1

A

1) radical substitution of the halogen to leave a Halide and a positive hydrocarbon (Slow)
2) hydroxide ion bonds to positive hydrocarbon (Fast)

Q

Steps for the reaction between a PRIMARY Halogenoalkanes with hydroxide ions Sn2

A

Hydroxide binds to compound as radical substitution of the halogen occurs leading to a transition state (with all three sort of bonded) and then the end products

17
Q

Equation for reaction between halogenoalkanes react with aqueous silver nitrate

A

R-X + H2O -> ROH + H+ + X-
Ag+ + X- -> AgX
And this forms a coloured precipitate
