Other Reactions of Organic Compounds (22.4) Flashcards
The formation of alkenes from alkanes, is what type of reaction?
Elimination reaction
What is an elimination reaction?
A reaction in which a combination of atoms is removed from two adjacent carbon atoms forming an additional bond between the two carbon atoms.
A reaction that eliminates two hydrogen atoms is called a?
Dehydrogenation reaction.
An elimination reaction in which the atoms removed form water is called a?
Dehydration reaction
What happens in an addition reaction?
Result when other atoms bond to two atoms bonded by double or triple covalent bonds
What is a hydration reaction?
It is an addition reaction in which a hydrogen atom and hydroxyl group from a water molecule add to a double or triple bond.
What is a hydrogenation reaction?
It involves the addition of hydrogen to atoms in a double or triple bond.
In what type of reaction are catalyst usually needed?
Hydrogenation reactions.
What are Hydrogenation reactions commonly used for?
They are used to convert liquid unsaturated fats into saturated fats that are solid at room temperature.
Many organic compounds can be converted to other compounds by what type of reaction?
Oxidation-reduction reactions.
True or False:
Each type of reaction—substitution, addition, elimination, oxidation-reduction, and condensation—can be used to predict the products of other organic reactions of the same types.
TRUE
