Post by: tlaskey on Sep 19, 2012
Our teachers hasn't given us the correct answers, if you know these it would help A LOT.

1. Most common type of chemical reaction with a double bond: ____
2. any carbon atom with a charge:_____
3. State the general chemical formula for a cyclic alkyne: ____
4. Give the common name for....
     a. CH[sub 2]=CH
     b. CH[sub 2]=CH-CH[sub 2]
     c. HC=C-CH[sub 2]
5. Describe why this name is incorrect: 2-methyl -1-propene
6. Most common reaction involving an aromatic compound: ___
7. ______ involves placing an "R" group on benzene with aluminum chloride
8. Term used to describe electrons in benzene: ______
9. What do ring activators add to an aromatic compound to increase reaction speed?


Any help is greatly appreciated :]

Ugh, I wasn't in your class, so some of these are opinions, not science in the normal sense. Who is the biggest car dealer in Los Angles?

1. reduction, oxidation, electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition?
2. ion
3. (CH2)n+C7H10 assuming C8 as smallest cyclic alkyne.
4. a) vinyl
b) allyl
c) propargyl
5. Looks good to me.
6. By whom? (electrophilic aromatic substitution?)
7. Friedel Crafts alkylation
8. aromatic
9. electrons

1. Addition
2. =ve charge carbocation, -ve charge carbanion
3. CnHn
4. sorry, cud not understand the question.
5. the name shud have been 2-methyl prop-1-ene.
6. Electrophilic substitution reaction.
7. Alkylation. (Friedel Craft's method)
8. Localised or conjugated.
9. Sorry, don't kno this one!
Hope it helps!
