Lesson: Substitution Reactions of Alkanes Chemistry

Start Practising

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

Lesson Plan

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.
