Halogenation

The video tutorial explains the reaction of halogens with alkenes, focusing on the addition reaction where halogens like chlorine, bromine, and iodine react with carbon-carbon double bonds. It highlights the reactivity differences among halogens, with fluorine being highly reactive and iodine the least. The tutorial also discusses the use of bromine as a test for alkenes, as it changes from orange-brown to colorless upon reaction. By the end, viewers should understand halogenation reactions and how bromine tests for alkenes.

What is the primary feature of alkenes that allows them to undergo halogenation?

• Presence of a carbon-carbon single bond

• Presence of a carbon-carbon double bond

• Presence of a carbon-oxygen double bond

• Presence of a carbon-nitrogen triple bond

Which halogen reacts violently with ethane, making it less useful for halogenation?

• Iodine

• Chlorine

• Bromine

• Fluorine

What is the general product formed when halogens react with alkenes?

• Halogenoalkanes

• Esters

• Carboxylic acids

• Alcohols

Why is bromine used as a test for the presence of alkenes?

• It forms a precipitate with alkenes

• It changes from orange-brown to colorless

• It reacts slowly with alkenes

• It forms a colored compound with alkenes

What should you be able to explain by the end of the video?

• How to test for the presence of alcohols

• How to synthesize alkenes

• How a halogen reacts with an alkene in an addition reaction

• How alkanes react with halogens
