Q

Alkanes are..

A

Non polar due to tetrahedral shape and difference in electronegativity, they don’t dissolve in water as they can’t form hydrogen bonds, boiling point increases as chain length increases, branching in chain decreases boiling point

Q

How do functional groups affect physical properties?

A

Boiling point affected by intermolecular forces type and strength
Non polar molecules have weak instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces
Permanent dipole molecules have stronger dipole-dipole forces
N-H/F-H/O-H have hydrogen bonds

Q

Bonds in alkanes

A

Strong
Non polar
Little polarisation (C and H similar electronegativities)
Tetrahedral arrangement negates any dipoles present
Weak van der waals

20
Q

Alkanes are…

A

Unaffected by ions/polar molecules
Low melting and boiling points (weak Van der Waals)
Insoluble in water

21
Q

Liquid alkanes are…

A

Good solvents for non polar molecules however don’t dissolve ionic or polar compounds

22
Q

Combustion of alkanes

A

Good fuels- burn exothermically on presence of oxygen to produce CO2 and water vapour

23
Q

Benefits to burning fossil fuels

A

Needed for transport, electricity generation, cooking, heating

24
Q

Disadvantage of burning fossil fuels

A 
CO2 (greenhouse gas) leads to global warming
Can for SO2 which contributes to acid rain
Limited supply of oxygen when burning = incomplete combustion forming CO (toxic gas)
Not sustainable (crude oil non-renewable)
25
Q

Halogenoalkanes formula

A

Alkanes + halogens –(UV light)–> halogenoalkanes

26
Q

Halogenoalkanes is what type of reaction?

A

Substitution reaction (1 or more H atoms replaced with halogen)

27
Q

Halogenoalkanes used as..

A

Dry cleaning solvents and refrigerants

No longer used as aerosol propellants as they damage ozone layer

28
Q

Halogenoalkanes require UV light to make so is a …

A

Photochemical reaction

29
Q

Photochlorination of methane equation

A

CH4(g) + Cl2(g) –(UV light)–> CH3Cl(g) + HCl(g)

30
Q

Mechanism of Photochlorination of methane

A 
Step 1- initiation
UV light breaks Cl2 bond (Homolytic fission)
Cl2--(UV light)--> 2Cl•
Step 2- propagation
CH4 + Cl•--> •CH3 +HCl
Methyl radical reacts with Cl2
•CH3 + Cl2--> CH3Cl + Cl•
Further substitution (2 further propagation steps)
CH3Cl + Cl•--> •CH2Cl + HCl
•CH2Cl + Cl2--> CH2Cl2 + •Cl
Step 3- Termination
2Cl•--> Cl2
Cl• + •CH3--> CH3Cl
2•CH3--> CH3CH3

35
Q

E-Z isomerism

A 
E = opposite
Z = same
36
Q

Which is E and Z isomers?

A

Look at 2 groups at one end of double bond in terms of atomic numbers, highest atomic number=highest priority
Repeat for other 2 groups
Z if high priority groups on same side
E is high priority groups on opposite sides

37
Q

Ethene + Bromine

A

Step 1- electrophyllic attack on double bond
