(32 cards)
multiple bonds are _____ reactive than single bonds
more, as they are much more unstable
atoms that are more ________ electronegative will replace another species that isnt as ________
electronegative
what are addition reactions?
2 molecules combining, something is added to a molecule
where do addition reactions occur?
only at double or triple bonds
what are the three subclasses of addition reactions?
halogenation: adding halogens
hydrogenation: adding hydrogens
hydrohalogenation: adding acids
what are substitution reactions?
one species being replaced with another more electronegative atom
substitution reactions always happen to _______ organics
saturated

only one
_____ is usually required in a substitution reaction in the form of ____ or ____
energy, uv light, heat
addition always happens with ______ compounds

what is an elimination reaction?
atoms leaving a molecule
elimination reactions usually produce ______ or ______ bonds
double, triple
what is steam cracking?
high temp steam hits ethane and removes hydrogens, forms ethene
what is dehydrating?
removing HOH, an acid catalyst usually is involved
what is dehydrohalogenation?
addition of a base to a halogenated hydrocarbon producing a double bond
what are esters?
natural/artificial fragrance and flavourings, perfumes, fats, etc

carboxylic acid and alchohol
what is the joining of esters called?
esterification

polymers
what is the process of making polymers?
polymerization
what are the two types of polymerization?
addition polymerization, and condensation polymerization
what is addition polymerization?
double bonded monomers breaking to join up, creates a chain reaction
what is condensed polymerization?
