halogenalkanes Flashcards
halogenoalkane
alkane where at least one hydrogen replaced with halogen
halogens
fluorine
chlorine
bromine
iodine
naming simple haloalkanes
ane at end of name
prefix depends on number of carbons
-prefix of halogen before name of alkane chain
add position number of halogen
general formula of haloalkanes
CnH2n+1X X for halogen
primary halogenalkane
carbon with halogen attached to 1 other carbon
secondary halogenalkane
-carbon with halogen group bonded to 2 other carbons
tertiary halogenoalkane
carbon with halogen attached to 3 other carbons
properties of halogen alkanes
-polar molecules
-dipole dipole
van der waal
length increases van der wala forces
-boiling and melting point increase
halogenalkanes solubility
-slightly soluble in water
-as length of carbon chain increases solubility decreases
CFC
any compound that only has chlorine fluorine and carbon
uses of CFC
propellants in aerosel cans
-solvents
refrigerants
ozone
lets in light from sun so we can see and plants can grow
blocks UV
UV and CFC
when CFC released they go into atmosphere and UV lights causes free radical
free radicals and ozone
cause ozone to break down into oxygen
doesnt protect us from UV rays
equation for ozone to oxygen
2O3 - 3O2
what determines what free radicals most likely to form
bond enthalpy
nucleophillic substitution
nueleophile substitutes for halogen
equations for nucleosphiilic substitution
ionic
-full with molecular formula
why do carbon halogen bonds break
-electronegativity
-size of ions- as size increases electrons are spread out over a greater distance and increases ions stability
nucleophilic substitution with sodium hydroxide reagent and nucleophile
-nucleophile is OH
and reagent is NaOH
nucleophillic sub with potassium cyanide reagent and nucleophile
KCN reagent
-CN nucleophile
nucleophillic sub with ammonia reagent and nucleophile
reagent ammonia
nucleophile ammonia
nucleophile
donates an electron pair to form a covalent bond
reagent
substance physically added to the system
