Practise IB Chemistry HL 3.4.5 Electrophilic Addition with questions linking electron-rich and electron-poor species to reaction products.
Organic compounds have many industrial applications.
An alkene such as ethene can be used as starting material for a range of compounds.
Predict the product of the reaction between ethene and bromine.
1,2-dibromoethane
Marking guidance:
Accept name or structure.
Outline why unsaturated molecules, such as ethene, readily undergo this type of reaction.
high electron density of the carbon-carbon double bond
OR
C=C double bond can undergo addition reactions
Marking guidance:
Accept C=C double bond susceptible to electrophilic attack.
Accept "Pi electrons available"
