Exam 5 Flashcards
Addition polymer
A polymer formed by the linking together of many alkene molecules through addition reactions
Addition reaction
Forms alkane. Breaks double bonds to form single
Alkane
A hydrocarbon that contains only single bonds
Alkene
A hydrocarbon containing one or more double bonds
Alkyl halide
Aka Haloalkane
A derivative of an alkane in which one or more hydrogens are replaced by halogens
Alkyne
A hydrocarbon containing one or more triple bonds
Aromatic hydrocarbon
Any organic compound that contains the characteristic benzene ring or similar feature
Combustion
Oxygen reacts
H20 and CO2 are products
Covalent bond
The attractive force that results between two atoms that are both attracted to a shared pair of electrons
Cycloalkane
An alkane in which carbon atoms form a ring
Halogenation
a chemical reaction that involves the addition of one or more halogens to a compound or material.
Hydration
The addition of water to a multiple bond
Hydrocarbon
An organic compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen
Hydrogenation
A reaction in which the addition of hydrogen takes place
Hydrohalogenation
is the electrophilic addition of hydrohalic acids like hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide to alkenes to yield the corresponding haloalkanes.
