Natures Chemistry Flashcards
What is meant by the term satuarated
A compound that only contains Corbin to carbon single bonds
What Is meant by the term unsaturated
A compound that contains at least 1 carbon to carbon double bond
The more double bonds there are the more unsaturated the compound it
3 types of addition reaction
Hydration, hydrogenation, halogenation
What happens during a hydration reaction
An aliens us reacted with water to produce an alcohol
What happens during a hydrogenation reaction?
An alkene reacts with hydrogen gas to form an alkane
What happens during a halogenation reaction?
An alkene is reacted with HBr or HCl to become a haloalkane or a halogen to become a dihaloalkane
Describe the test and resulting outcomes used to differentiate between saturated and unsaturated compounds
Unsaturated compounds will decolourise bromine water
Saturated compounds will not it will stay orange
What is meant by the term isomer
Compounds with the molecular formula but different structural formula
Functional group of an alcohol
Hydroxyl -OH
What is meant by the term primary alcohol
Has an OH group attached to a carbon atom which is only liked to one other carbon atom
