Lesson Flashcards: Addition Reactions of Alkenes

An unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains at least one carbon–carbon double bond

Chemical species that can accept a pair of electrons

A type of reaction that happens when two or more reactant molecules combine together to make a single product

A type of addition reaction involving the combination of an alkene with hydrogen to make a saturated hydrocarbon product

A type of addition reaction involving the combination of an alkene with either diatomic halogen or a hydrogen halide to make a halogenated hydrocarbon

A type of addition reaction involving the combination of an alkene with water to make an alcohol

A test for the presence of unsaturated hydrocarbons using potassium permanganate

In the major product, acidic hydrogen is added to the carbon with the greatest number of hydrogen substituents
