Haloalkanes can be prepared from:
Alkanes (UV light with halogen)
Alkenes (with halogen or hydrogen halide)
Alcohols ( NaX - sodium halide and concentrated H2SO4
What does word end with if an alcohol?
ol
Define Hydrolysis
The breaking of a covalent bond through the reaction with water
Define nucleophile
Electron pair donor
Why does C-I have the lowest bond enthalpy in alkanes
The attraction energy for the hydrolysis of Iodoalkanes will be lower than that for equivalent halokanes with different halogens
The rate of hydrolysis for the iodoalkane will be highest.
Define bond enthalpy
Energy needed to break one mole of a particular bond
