Chemistry Revision Session 8
Name this alkene And what about (CH3)2CHCHCH2? Naming Alkenes
What type of isomerism is this? Why does it occur? Isomerism
Mechanisms! • Explain how bromine reacts with ethene (4 marks) • Identify the mechanism type!
Polymers • Draw a section of polymer chain to show the structure of poly(propene) • Draw a section of the polymer chain obtained from the monomer 1-chloroprop-1-ene! • Identify the intermolecular forces present in each polymer • Which would be more flexible? Why?
More on IMF • Why does H2O have a higher boiling point than H2S? • Include a diagram in your answer for water!! • What is the shape of H2S?
Test! • How can I differentiate between ethane and hex-3-ene in the laboratory?
Sorry • Couldn’t resist ONE trick question- in the lab ethene will be a gas, where as, of course, hex-3-ene is a liquid. • The more sensible question to ask is how to differentiate between hex-3-ene and hexane! • Add bromine water- which will be decolourised by hex-3-ene (orange colourless)
Definitions • Explain the difference between thermosetting and thermoplastic ploymers • What is a co-polymer • What is the difference between a crystalline and a amorphous region of a polymer • How will this affect its properties?
Manipulating polymers • Explain how each of the following will affect a polymers strength- • Adding a side group to the monomer- eg CH3 • Increasing the chain length of the polymer • Substituting a Cl atom for an H atom in the monomer • Substituting that Cl for an amine group
Manipulating Polymers • Give 2 other ways I can increase the strength of a polymer • Again- boring though it may be- justify your answer!
Manipulating polynmers • Cross-linking • Increasing stereo-regularity
Which is/are secondary alcohols and which is/are tertiary alcohols? • Name the product if I oxidise- • Name the functional group • State the reagents and conditions
How would it be different if I oxidised ethanol using mild conditions? • And if I spent too long drinking coffee (surely not) and came back too late I would have made which compound?
Dissolving Polymers • The polymer with the repeating unit shown below dissolves well in water. Why? • H OH ----C—C------ H H n
Final definitions • Define the terms:- • Elimination • Electrophile
