Reactions

Question 1

Homolytic

Answer 1

When a molecular bond breaks and each fragment keeps one of the original electrons.

Question 2

Heterolytic

Answer 2

When a molecular bond breaks and one fragment keeps both of the original electrons.

Directly dependent on electronegativity.

Question 3

Hydrogenation

Answer 3

A chemical reaction between H2 and another compound. A catalyst of Pd/C is used.

Question 4

Hyrdohalogenation

Answer 4

A reaction between H-(Br, Cl) and a compound. It forms a carbo-cation and a halogen anion. The halogen anion then inserts itself onto the carbo-cation, forming the new structure.

Hydrobromination and Hydrochlorination are the only reactions that can occur.

Question 5

Hydration

Answer 5

A reaction where water is added across a carbon-carbon double bond. It forms an alcohol by breaking the pi bond and attaching a hydrogen and hydroxyl group to the carbons involved.

Question 6

Polomerization

Answer 6

A chemical reaction that joins monomers together to form larger molecules called polymers.

Question 7

Posion Hydrogenation

Answer 7

Hydrogenation with Lindars catalyist. Lindars catalyist is Pd, PbR3N. The N has 2 e- on top of it.
