Reactions of Alkenes & Alcohols (AQA GCSE Chemistry): Flashcards

Unsaturated hydrocarbons with $C=C$ double bond

$C=C$ double bond

$C=C$ double bond can break, allowing new atoms to join

$C=C$ double bond breaks to $C-C$ single bond

Unsaturated alkene + small molecule → saturated compound

Alkane

Yes

No

Alcohol

Yes

Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and water ($H_2O$)

Incomplete combustion produces soot (unburned carbon)

Ethane

Dibromoethane

Ethanol
