Q

E/Z isomerism criteria

A

C=C bond which restricts rotation

Each carbon on C=C must have two different groups attached

Q

Hydrocarbon is

A

Molecule containing carbon and hydrogen only

21
Q

Homologous series are

A

Molecules with the same functional group, general formula and each successive member differs by general formula

22
Q

Functional group

A

Part of a molecule that controls how it reacts

23
Q

Allanes are ———— hydrocarbons

A

Saturated no C=C bonds

24
Q

Albanés are reactive or un reactive and why

A

I reactive = gave no polar bonds, only strong ones throughout

25
Complete combustion of alkanres form
CO2 and H2O
26
Incomplete combustion of alkanes can produce
CO toxic gas Water Carbon particulates that cause breathing problems NO (any oxide) and SO2 can cause acid rain I burnt hydrocarbons
27
Alaines are fuels and come from
Crude oil
28
How do we separate alkanes
Fractional distillation = separation by boiling point
29
Two methods of turning less useful fractions into more useful fractions that burn more efficiently
``` Cracking = breaking larger hydrocarbons into smaller ones Reforming = turning long chains into branched or cyclic rings ```
30
Catalytic converter purpose
Used in cars to convert some of these harmful products of incomplete combustion of alkanes into safer substances
31
Catalytic converters use a catalyst - what three elements?
Platinum Palladium Rhodium
32
For equation wiht catalytic converter
Change harmful stuff put catalyst on top of arrows and form CO2 and nitrogen gas for example
33
Alternative fuels
Made from renewable resources such as biofuel or alcohoks from sugars Saves crude oil which is running out Approximate carbon neutral because fewer greenhouse gases But large amounts of Land needed to grow crops so deforestation or snatching land used for substinance farming
34
Branched chains mean
Less surface contacten so weaker London forces hence more energy needed to break the bonds
35
Free radicals are
Species with an unpaired electron
36
How are free radicals formed and explain
Homolytic fission = when a bond breaks evenly and each atoms gets one electron forming radicals by UV light
37
Mechanism of free radical substitution explain all steps
Initiation = create halogen radicals by passing through UV Propagation one: one halogen radical with hydrocarbon creates HX (eg HBr or HI) and hydrocarbon radical with one less hydrogen Propagation two: hydrocarbon radical and halogen (Br2 for example) react to form the end product and halogen radical Termination: two halogen radicals combine, two hydrocarbon radicals combine (double the structure), and one hydrocarbon radical and one halogen racial combine to form end product
38
Free radicals goes for which bond in hydrocarbon
Breaks of a hydrogen
39
Why is free radical substitution not an efficient way of making a given halogenalkane
Lots of termination products (waste) Longer chains may form different isomers to product wanted Multi substitution can occur
40
Electrophiles are
Electron pair acceptors
41
Nucleophiles are
Electron pair donor
42
Alkanes are —— hydrocarbons
Unsaturated c=c
43
Sigma bond is
End on overlap of ss sp or pp
44
Pi bonds are only found in double and triple bonds and Ade
Sideways overlap of two p orbitals
45
In a double bond there are what types of bonds
One sigma and one pi
46
In a triple bond there are what types of bonds
One sigma | Two pi
47
Is a pi bond or sigma bond weaker and why
Pi bond due to a higher electron density?
48
Alkanes are —— and attract electrophiles or nucleophiles
Reactive Electrophiles Region of high electron density in pi bond hence max repulsion
