1
New cards

Electrophilic addition

Alkene —> haloalkane

reagents: Hydrogen halide

2
New cards

Heterolytic fission

Uneven breaking of a covalent bond where one atom takes both electrons.

:Cl

3
New cards

Mechanism

H-Cl breaks pi bond (double bond) and forms a carbon cation and a :Cl- which later react to form the haloalkane.

4
New cards

Which molecule is most likely to form

Carbon with most hydrogen bonded to it

5
New cards

Markovnikovs rule

primary carbon cation: least stable, only has 1 alkyl group pushing e- to +.

tertiary carbon cation: most stable, 3 alkyl groups pushing e- towards +.

6
New cards

addition polymerisation

alkene —> polymer

polymer: repeating monomers

e.g ethene —> polyethene

(loses double bond and n to show repeating unit.)
