In this lesson, we will learn how to describe addition reactions of alkenes and predict what products are formed.

Students will be able to

describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions for the hydrogenation and halogenation of alkenes,
describe the test for alkenes using bromine water and, to a lesser extent, Baeyer’s test,
define Markovnikov’s rule and use it to predict the products of addition reactions of alkenes,
describe the reactants and reaction conditions for the addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes,
describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions for the direct and indirect hydration of alkenes to form alcohols,
predict the products of the addition reactions of alkenes stated above.
