Halogenoalkanes Study guides, Revision notes & Summaries

Detailed notes on Unit 6 - Organic Chemistry I covering all specifications points, and allowed me to achieve an A*. Covers bonding, types of formula, homologous series, naming organic compounds, isomerism, type of reactions, alkanes, alkenes, free radical substitution, electrophilic addition, halogenoalkanes, nucleophilic substitution, uses of halogenoalkanes, oxidation and combustion of alcohols.

I achieved a high A* Grade in my final A-Level exams using these notes!!! I believe you can achieve an A* if you can memorise these notes! Simply use blurting, a method of active recall, to write everything you remember from the notes, then identify the parts you couldn’t remember, then repeat until you can remember it all! If you can do that, you’ve got an A* in the bag! They are clear, concise, and are laid out according to the specification; there is no information missing or in excess...

How do halogenoalkanes typically react? - correct answer By nucleophilic substitution How do halogenoalkanes react under different conditions? - correct answer By elimination How does elimination reactions occur? - correct answer A hydrogen halide is eliminated from the molecule, leaving a double bond in its place so that an alkene is formed What is the OH- ion from aqueous sodium or potassium hydroxide? - correct answer A nucleophile and its lone pair will attack a halogenoalkane at C
