34
Q

E/Z isomerism

A

type of stereo isomerism, must have a C=C bond and both carbon atoms attached to different groups.

35
Q

cis-trans isomerism

A

type of E/Z isomerism-two substituents on the carbon atoms are the same

36
Q

when homolytiuc fission occurs?

A

when a covalent bond breaks and both electrons go to a different bonded atom

37
Q

when heterolytic fission occurs?

A

when a covalent bond breaks and both electrons go to the same bonded atom

38
Q

what does homolytic fission create

A

two reactive species called radicals form

39
Q

what does heterolytic fission create

A

results in a positive ion and a negative ion

40
Q

whatr bond is formed when two radicals collide?

A

covalent bond

41
Q

what are radicals?

A

species with one or more unpaired electrons

42
Q

boiling points ofalkanes

A

High boiling points but small range-derived from crude oil

43
Q

branched molecules have fewer ….. to ….. attractions compared to straight chain isomerism

A

induced dipole to dipole

44
Q

do branched molecules have a lower boiling point then straight chains

A

yes! this is due to them having fewer induced dipole-dipole interactions

45
Q

what is bond enthalpy?

A

amount of energy needed

46
Q

why do alkanes have a low reactivity with many reagants (2 reasons)

A
47
Q

products of complete combustion of alkanes?

A

co2,h20

48
Q

products of incomplete combustion of alkanes?

A

CO

49
Q

what is free radical substitution

A

alkanes react with UV light in the presence of chlorine or bromine

50
Q

when is free radical substitution ?

A

When you have an alkane and want to make a halogenalkane, a halogen replaces the H atom

51
Q

what is FRS used to make, and from what?

A

from alkanes to halogenalkanes

52
Q

negatives of free radical substitution

A

other organic molecules can be made and further substitution can occur

53
Q

what does initiation mean?

A

starting stage

54
Q

what does propagation mean

A

middle stage

55
Q

what does termination mean

A

final stage

56
Q

starter info of alkenes

A

form homologous series, unsaturated hydrocarbons, formula CnH2n

57
Q

shapes of alkene molecules

A

each member of a carbon atom has three areas of density around them- each electron density repels by the same amount forming bond angles of 120. And Trigonal planar shape

58
Q

bonding in alkenes

A

The C-H bonds are sigma bonds, a double C=C covalent bond makes a sigma bond and a PI bond forms from overlapping p-orbitals above and below the carbon atoms

59
Q

how is a sigma bond formed

A

from the overlap of covalent bonds of electrons

60
Q

why are alkenes more reactive than alkanes

A

Double bond

61
Q

what are nucleophiles

A

electron acceptors

62
Q

what are electrophiles

A

electron donators

63
Q

what do curly arrows represent

A

the movement/transfer of a bonded pair of electrons

64
Q

what happens in an elecvtrophilic addition reaction

A
64
Q

difference between nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic addition

A
