Alkanes and Alkenes
Across
- 6. an ion that contains a positively charged carbon atom
- 8. first stage of radical substitution, a halogen molecule is broken into two radicals by homolytic fission
- 9. an addition reaction in alkenes in which a hydrogen is added across a double bond
- 12. process by which crude oil can be separated into fractions of alkanes with similar boiling points
- 14. final stage of radical substitution, two radicals collide and react to form a compound
- 15. isomers that have the same structural formula but a different arrangement of atoms in space
- 16. bond type present in alkanes, found in single covalent bonds, the direct overlap of s orbitals
Down
- 1. addition reaction in alkenes in which a halogen is added across a double bond, happens rapidly
- 2. formation of polymers from small repeating monomer units
- 3. reaction of alkenes in which they react with steam to form alcohols in the presence of a phosphoric acid catalyst
- 4. a species with an unpaired electron
- 5. intermolecular forces found between alkanes
- 7. second stage of radical substitution, a radical reacts with a compound to form another radical and another compoun
- 10. an atom/group of atoms that is attracted to an electron-rich centre and accepts an electron pair
- 11. mechanism for the reaction between alkanes and halogens, eg bromine
- 13. shape around each carbon atom in alkanes
