Electrophilic addition
Alkene —> haloalkane
reagents: Hydrogen halide
Heterolytic fission
Uneven breaking of a covalent bond where one atom takes both electrons.
:Cl
Mechanism
H-Cl breaks pi bond (double bond) and forms a carbon cation and a :Cl- which later react to form the haloalkane.
Which molecule is most likely to form
Carbon with most hydrogen bonded to it
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 +.
addition polymerisation
alkene —> polymer
polymer: repeating monomers
e.g ethene —> polyethene
(loses double bond and n to show repeating unit.)
