Lesson 3: What properties?Wednesday, August 18, 2010Lesson 3: How does alkenes act? Physical properties - First 3 members are gases at r.t.p Ø Made up of covalent molecules held by weak intermolecular forces - All members are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvent Ø Like dissolve like Chemical properties - Similar for all alkenes Ø Contains the same C=C covalent bond - More reactive than alkanes Ø One of the bonds in the C=C bond (pi bond) can break easily, allowing other atoms to join to the carbon atoms resulting in an addition reaction. 11:56 PMObjectivesQuizVideostag |
