Halogenalkanes- Organic Flashcards
1
Q
Are halogenalkanes soluble in water
Why
A
Insoluble
As the C-H bonds are non-polar
2
Q
Do halogenalkanes have polar bonds
Why
A
Yes
Halogen had higher electronegative than Carbon
3
Q
What forces does halogenalkanes have
A
Permanent dipole and van de waals attraction
4
Q
What is a nucleophile
A
A negatively charged atom with a lone pair of electrons which can be donated to a electron deficient atom
5
Q
Give 3 examples of nucleophiles
A
OH
CN
NH3
6
Q
What is nucleophilic substitution
A
A reaction where the nucleophile donates lone pair of electrons to C atom and the d- atom leaves
7
Q
What are CFSs
A
Chlorine-fluoro carbons
Don’t contain H
8
Q

2 points
A
NaOH or KOH dissolved in ethanol
Heated
