Saturated – contains single bonds only.Unsaturated – contains one or more carbon-carbon double bonds.Shake each with bromine water. Hexene will decolorise bromine water, which will go from orange to colou...

Molecules differing in the relative bond positions of two groups about carbon-carbon double bonds. Free rotation is not possible about a carbon-carbon double bond. Thus, groups attached to the double-bond...

ii. The nucleophile donates a lone pair of electrons to the electrophilic carbon atom in the halogenoalkene. The bromine atom is substituted by the hydroxide ion. The mechanism is accompanied by inversion...

Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, IodineIf you write the electronic structure to start, F = 2,7, Cl = 2, 8, 7, Br = 2, 8, 8, 7, I = 2, 8, 8, 8, 7. This shows that they all have 7 outer electrons so we can tell...

The mutual electrostatic attraction between pairs of oppositely charged ions. Usually the metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged cation where as the non metal atom gains electrons to b...
