Write the equation for the following reactions:
Bromethane and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.
What are the terms defined in given below?
A reaction in which the hydrogen of an alkane is replaced by another element like chlorine.
Distinguish between the saturated hydrocarbon ethane and the unsaturated hydrocarbon ethene by drawing their structural formulae.
Saturated hydrocarbon ; ethane has single covalent bond between carbon atoms.
Unsaturated hydrocarbon: ethene has a double covalent bond between carbon atoms.
Addition reactions and substitution reactions are types of organic reaction which type of reaction is shown by:
Using appropriate catalysts, ethane can be oxidized to an alcohol , an aldehyde and an acid. Name the alcohol, aldehyded and acid formed when ethane oxidized.
