37
Q

Structural isomers

A

Molecules with the same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms

38
Q

The three types of structural isomers

A
  1. Chain isomers
  2. Position isomers
    3.functional group isomers
39
Q

Chain isomers

A

Have the same molecular formula but a different arrangement of atoms

40
Q

position isomers

A

Have the same functional group in a different position . Propan-1-ol and proan-2-ol

41
Q

Functional group isomers

A

Have the same molecular formula but the molecules have a different functional group . Hexene and cyclohexane

42
Q

Reaction mechanisms

A

Are a series of steps that represent the overall reaction by showing the breaking and forming of bonds

43
Q

Heterolytic fission

A

A covalent bond breaks one bonding atom and receives the pair of electrons from a bonding pair leads to the formation of a positive and negative ion . Unequal .

44
Q

Homolytic fission

A

When a covalent bond breaks each bonding atom receives one electron forming two radicals . It is equal splitting of electron pair

45
Q

Radicals

A

Unstable molecules ions or atoms with unpaired electrons . Key condition=UV light

46
Q

Addition reactions

A

Start with two reactants and end up with 1 product .

47
Q

Substitution reactions

A

One functional group is replaced by a different functional group

48
Q

Polymerisation reaction

A

A reaction in which many small molecules of repeating units to form a polymer

49
Q

Elimination reaction

A

A small molecule is removed from a larger molecule . Start with 1 end up with 2

50
Q

Alkanes

A

Saturated hydrocarbons containing single carbon=Caron bonds

51
Q

Sigma bonds

A

Are the single bonds held in alkanes

52
Q

Each carbon atom in an alkane

A

Is surrounded by 4 electron pairs in four sigma bonds

53
Q

All alkanes are a type of shape …

A

Tetrahedral . 109.5’

54
Q

Cycloalkanes contain the general formula

A

CnH2n

55
Q

Less branched gives

A

More surface contact

56
Q

The larger the molecule the more

A

London forces and the ore energy is needed to overcome these London forces

57
Q

Alkanes must be separated by

A

Fractional distillation

58
Q

Steps of fractional distillation

A
  1. Mixture of hydrocarbons is vaporised
    2.the vapours rise.cool and condense at different boiling points
  2. Column is hotter at the bottom than at the top
59
Q

Short chain hydrocarbons rise to

A

The top as they have lower boiling points

60
Q

London forces in organic chains are affected by

A

Chain length and branching

61
Q

Branching of alkane chains gives

A

Weaker London forces as they are less compact

62
Q

Higher boiling point gives stronger

A

Intermolecular forces

63
Q

An increase in chain length gives

A

An increase in surface contact and therefore an increase in London forces

64
Q

Alkanes do not react with common reagents due to

A

-Strong sigma bonds betwee C-C And C-H
-C-C bonds are non polar

65
Q

Complete combustion of alkanes

A

plentiful supply of oxygen

66
Q

Incomplete combustion

A

Forms carbon monoxide which is dangerous as it bids to haemoglobin in our blood

67
Q

Free radical substitution involves 3 steps

A
  1. Initiation
    2.propagation
  2. Termination
68
Q

Free radical substitution is caused by

A

Homocysteine fission as two free radicals are formed

69
Q
  1. Initiation stage
A

Radicals are produced by using visible ignition or uv light . Bond breaks equally producing two radicals .

70
Q
  1. Propagation stage
A

1.Halogen radical reacts with alkane molecule to make an alkyl radical
2.alkyl radical reacts with halogen to form . Possibly chloromethane and CL* radical 3. The halogen can now start its chain reaction . Product must correlate with the reactant .

71
Q
  1. Termination
A

Propagation may stop when 2 radicals collide . When two radicals collide the radicals are removed stopping the reaction all stable

72
Q

Freee radical

A

A reactive species which has unpaired electrons

73
Q

Limitations of radical substitution

A

-we get multiple substitution I’d,tri,tetra
-these all need to be separated
-to stop all this substitution we need to add an excess of alkanes

74
Q

Alkenes

A

Unsaturated hydrocarbons part if a homologous series with the general formula cnH2n

75
Q

Pi-bonds

A

Sideways overlap of p orbitals from each carbon atom

76
Q

Sigma bonds

A

Overlap of orbitals directly between bonding atoms

77
Q

What is the shape of Alkenes and explain this

A

Trigonal planar due to
-there are three regions of high electron density around each carbon atom
-the three regions repel each other meaning bond angle is 120.

78
Q

Stereoisomers

A

Compounds with the same structural formula but different arrangement in space .

79
Q

E/Z isomerism

A

A type of stereoisomerism that is restricted by rotation around a double bond

80
Q

Cis-trans isomerism

A

A type of E/Z isomerism in which two f the same groups are attached to the same carbon

81
Q

CIP rules

A

Rules that are used to decide whether a Hydrocarbon is E or Z

82
Q

steps to CIP rules

A
  1. Number the carbons it’s double bonds
  2. Calculate the highest atomic number of the first lemon directly bonded . HIGHEST ATOMIC NUMBER = HIGHEST PRIORITY
83
Q

E means

A

Different groups .EOPPISITE

84
Q

Z means

A

The same . ZAME
