Alkene Why iodine very hard to undergo frs Ans: 1 the 1st step of propagation is endodermic Without sufciemt energy supply, it cannot proceed to 2 nd step of propagation. Thus . Alkene The e rich region( double repel the delta negative br then Melting pt and boiling pt Test for unsaturation e.g. br2 in ccl4 rate of reaction of X2 and HX opposite rate of reaction with X2 down the group decrease ( calculate enthalpy change, the 1st step of propagation is + or -. Rate of reaction with HX increase the down the group. Because , decrease in bond strength as the atomic size increase) Markovnikov rule Saytzeff rule The major product is the alkene with the greatest no. of R groups attached to the carbon of carbon-carbon double bond. ( refer to dhs notes page 19 Arene Itself is plane, but when it substituted , it becomes tetrahedral The group or atom attached to benzene is first generated in 1 st step, as E with + sign
