Lesson: Substitution Reactions of Alkanes Chemistry • Third Year of Secondary School

Join Nagwa Classes

Attend live Chemistry sessions on Nagwa Classes to learn more about this topic from an expert teacher!

In this lesson, we will learn how to define substitution reactions and write and interpret equations for substitutions of alkanes with halogens.

Students will be able to

name different mono- and polysubstituted haloalkanes,
define the terms substitution reaction and functional group in order to better understand reactions in organic chemistry,
analyze the substitution reaction of an alkane reacting with a halogen to correctly predict the products,
list uses of halogenated alkanes to explain their importance to society.
