Lesson Worksheet: Addition Reactions of Alkenes Chemistry • 10th Grade

In this worksheet, we will practice defining addition reactions and writing equations for the addition of water, hydrogen, and halogens to alkenes.

Q1:

What is an addition reaction?

  • AA reaction in which parts of one molecule swap with parts of another
  • BA reaction in which two reactants combine to form a larger molecule and water or another small molecule is released
  • CA reaction in which two reactants combine to form a larger molecule without by-products
  • DA reaction in which a catalyst is added
  • EA reaction in which the reactants are added in sequence

Q2:
