Exam points

  • identify and apply electrophilic addition of H2, steam, hydrogen halides and halogens across an alkene C=C
  • use cold dilute acidified manganate(VII) to form a vicinal diol and hot concentrated acidified manganate(VII) for oxidative cleavage
  • deduce alkene structures and cleavage products from oxidation outcomes, including carbon dioxide, acids and ketones
  • describe addition polymerisation of ethene or propene and relate loss of C=C reactivity to poly(alkene) formation
