Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 5.4 Addition reactions of alkenes
Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 5.4 Addition reactions of alkenes
Locate the carbon–carbon double bond, add one atom or group to each carbon, retain the carbon skeleton and apply the stated catalyst, reagent or aqueous condition.
How this is tested
- Give hydrogenation conditions using hydrogen and a nickel, platinum or palladium catalyst.
- Draw halogen, hydrogen-halide, steam or manganate(VII) addition products.
- Show alternative products when an unsymmetrical alkene reacts with an unsymmetrical reagent.
