Chapter 11, Haloalkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes

Jo Kohn's Chem 122

AB
A reactive organic compound has one section within its molecule where chemical reactions typically take place called a ____ ?Called a functional group.
Describe haloalkanes.Alkanes that contain one or more atoms of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and/or iodine.
What are haloalkanes used to make?Many of the anesthetics and pesticides we use today.
Alkenes and alkynes are families of hydrocarbons that contain double or triple bonds and are called what kind of compounds, saturated or unsaturatedf?Unsaturated, because they have fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain than alkanes do.
Why are alkanes called saturated compounds?They have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom in the compound.
What do you call a compound when a double bond occurs between two adjacent carbon atoms in a chain?Called an alkene.
What do you call a compound when a triple bond occurs between two adjacent carbon atoms in a chain?Called an alkyne.
How many isomers are possible with C4H8 with one double bond and what are they called?1-Butene, 2-butene, 2-methyl-1-propene
What are geometric isomers?Alkenes with two distinct arrangements of the groups attached to the double bond.
What are the two geometric isomers called?Cis and trans isomers.
What is the geometric isomer of an alkene called if both of the attached groups are on the same side of the double bond?A Cis isomer.
What is the geometric isomer of an alkene called if both of the attached groups are on opposite sides of the double bond?A Trans isomer.
Adding hydrogen as a reactant in an addition reaction is called what?Hydrogenation
Adding chlorine or bromine as a reactant in an addition reaction is called what?Halogenation
Adding HBr or HI as a reactant in an addition reaction is called what?Hydrohalogenation
Adding water as a reactant in an addition reaction is called what?Hydration
Hydrogenation (the adding of hydrogen) of an alkene results in what?The diatomic hydrogen splits the double bond and attaches to the carbon atoms on each side resulting in an alkane.
Halogenation of an alkene results in what?The alkene double bond is broken and the halogens bond to the carbons that were double bonded. This results in a di-alkane or di-cycloalkane.
A hydrogen halide added to an alkene results in what?A halidealkane since the hydrogen just makes one of the carbon atoms saturated.
What is Markovnikov's rule?When adding a Hydrogen Halide to an alkene, the hydrogen in HX adds to the carbon that already has the most hydrogen atoms.
What do you get in the hydration of an alkene?One hydrogen attaches to one carbon in the double bond and the -OH attaches to the other making an alochol.
