10.2 Functional Group
Alkenes
Contain a C=C double bond→unsaturated compound→very reactive→the C=C double bond can break easily →form new bonds→undergoes addition reaction

Alkanes

Physical Properties
BP increases as number of Carbon in carbon chain increases→higher intermolecular forces→higher Van deer Waals' forces of attraction
Branched Isomers have a lower boiling point than straight chain→fatter molecules are hard to fit next to one another→results in lower Van deer Waals' forces
Solubility→insoluble in water and polar compounds, and very soluble in non-polar compounds and organic solvents→the Van deer Waals' forces are not strong enough to break the polar hydrogen bonds in the water→makes such non-polar organic compounds insoluble in water.
Chemical Properties
generally unreactive, but small sized cycloalkanes are very reactive→the bond angle of the Carbon atom decreases when in a cyclohexane structure than a straight chain→the electron repulsion due to the closeness of the electrons cause the bond to break more easily.
Combustion Reaction
Reacts with Oxygen to produce Carbon dioxide and Water, as well as energy so it an exothermic reaction
-
Halogenation of Alkanes
Reaction with Fluorine is explosive in dark and cold condition producing Carbon and Hydrogen Fluoride
-
Reaction with Chlorine and Bromine→no reaction in the dark→In presence of flame the reaction is like the one with Fluorine→Happens in presence of Ultra-violet Light →Making it a Photochemical Reaction→Substitution reaction, as all the hydrogen bonding with Carbon are replaces by he Halogen (Chlorine of Bromine)
When Chlorine reacts with larger Alkanes→isomers of the same product form→product mixture contains different isomers
Why not this reaction in the Lab?→Hard to separate the organic product and the other products from the organic mixture.
-
Reaction of Cycloalkanes
Same as most alkanes except the small ones as they are way more reactive→when reacting with cycloalkanes the break the ring→makes it a straight chain molecule→increasing the bond angles→stabilizing the structure of the cycloalkanes
