1
New cards

pi bond?

a type of covalent bond formed when the adjacent p orbitals overlap sideways above and below the bonding C atoms.

  • pi bonds cannot be rotated

  • due to the low bond enthalpy of pi bonds, alkenes are more reactive than alkanes

2
New cards

sigma bond?

a type of covalent bond which forms when atomic orbitals overlap head on

  • sigma bonds can rotate freely

3
New cards

alkene?

an organic compound containing at least one c=c double bond

4
New cards

electrophile?

an electron pair acceptor

5
New cards

electrophilic addition?

a reaction in which the pi bonds cannot is broken and 2 new sigma bonds form as a result of the addition of an electrophile
