IB Chemistry 3.3.1 Radicals Questions
Practise identifying radical species and recognizing when alkane halogenation proceeds by free-radical substitution rather than other reaction types.
How this is tested
- identify species such as Br· as radicals and distinguish them from ions or molecules
- state that halogenation of alkanes such as methane or ethane is free-radical substitution
- distinguish propane reacting with bromine from propene reacting by electrophilic addition
