Alkene Reactions

• Addition Reactions - only one product
• 1. Hydrogenation (H2) Alkene Hydrogen --gt
  Alkane
• 2. Halogenation (X2)Alkene diatomic halogen
  --gt Dihaloalkane
• 3. Halgenation (HX)Alkene HX --gt Haloalkane
• 4. Hydration (HOH)Alkene HOH --gt alcohol
• 5. PolymerizationMany alkenes add together
  into a long alkane chain

Unsymmetrical Addition Reactions

• Markovnikovs Rule
• For double bonds that have unequal numbers of
  hydrogen atoms attached.
• For unsymmetrical reactants such as HX and HOH
• The hydrogen of the reactant goes to the carbon
  of the double bond that already has the most
  hydrogen atoms. the rich get richer
• The -X or the -OH go the other carbon (the one
  with the least amount of hydrogen
