Question 10(b)(ii)
[Maximum number: 1]
Pentane reacts with bromine in the presence of ultraviolet radiation.
Give the name of this type of reaction.
Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry 4.6 organic reaction types
Practise reaction-type questions by comparing alkane and alkene bromine reactions, products, colour changes and named reaction classes.
How this is tested
- Distinguish addition from substitution using bromine reactions of ethene and ethane.
- Name the reaction type from an equation or product pattern, including addition and substitution.
- Compare bromine colour change and number of products for alkanes versus alkenes.
