What is the difference between alkanes and alkenes?

Which do you think would be more reactive?

The relationship between the number of bonds, bond length and bond strength

The more pairs of electrons that are shared between two atoms (bonds) in a molecule will make:● the attraction between

the atoms stronger ● the distance between

the atoms shorter

Then why are alkenes MORE reactive than alkanes???

It requires less energy to break ONE of the bonds in a C=C double bond than to break a C-C single Bond

Ex. Energy to break ONE bond from a C=C:

● 657/2 = 328.5 kJmol-1 vs 348 kJmol-1 of a C-C bond

Ex. Energy to break ONE bond from a C≡C

● 908/3 = 302.7 kJmol-1

Reactions of Alkenes:The general overview● Alkenes react with many substances to form

a new substance. Catalysts, acids or other substances may be required to complete the reaction:

C2H4 + XY → CH2X CH2Y● Process occurs by breaking the double bond.

Addition Reactions● An addition reaction occurs when atoms are

added to a molecule● There are different types of addition reactions:

● Hydrogenation ● Bromination / chlorination ● Hydration ● Polymerization

Page 8: Alkenes - NYMAN CHEMISTRY · Reactions of Alkenes: with water Alkenes do not react readily with water. If concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst, an alcohol will be created

Reactions of Alkenes: with hydrogen● Alkenes react hydrogen gas to create an

alkane, using nickel as a catalyst at 150ºC:

C2H4 + H2 → CH3CH3

Page 9: Alkenes - NYMAN CHEMISTRY · Reactions of Alkenes: with water Alkenes do not react readily with water. If concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst, an alcohol will be created

Reactions of Alkenes: with halogens● Alkenes react readily with chlorine or

bromine to create a di-halogeno-alkane:C2H4 + 2 Cl2 → CH2Cl CH2Cl

Page 10: Alkenes - NYMAN CHEMISTRY · Reactions of Alkenes: with water Alkenes do not react readily with water. If concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst, an alcohol will be created

Reactions of Alkenes: with hydrogen halogens● Alkenes react readily with hydrogen halides

to create a halogeno-alkane:C2H4 + HBr → CH3CH2Br

Reactions of Alkenes: with water● Alkenes do not react readily with water. ● If concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a

catalyst, an alcohol will be created :C2H4 + H2O → CH3CH2OH

● Remember that H2O is the same as HOH, which can be dissociated into H+ and OH-

Distinguish between alkanes and alkenes using bromine water.

● Bromine water (a red liquid) tests for unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes)● Alkanes (cyclohexane) → stay yellow/orange

● no reaction● Alkenes (cyclohexene) → turn clear /

colourless● because of reaction with unsaturated hydrocarbon

Reactions of Alkenes: Polymerization ● Mono- = one● -mer = part● Poly- = many ● So if several monomers are connected (think

Lego’s), you get a … ???

Reactions of Alkenes: Polymerization● Naming polymers: put “poly-” in front of the

name of the monomer● There are 3 polymerization reactions that

we will look at as examples:1. Polyethene2. Polychloroethene3. Polypropene

Page 16: Alkenes - NYMAN CHEMISTRY · Reactions of Alkenes: with water Alkenes do not react readily with water. If concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst, an alcohol will be created

Reactions of Alkenes: Polymerization: Polyethene● Monomer: ethene (aka ethylene), CH2=CH2● Conditions:

● Temp: 200º C● Pressure: 2000 atm● Initiator: O2

Page 17: Alkenes - NYMAN CHEMISTRY · Reactions of Alkenes: with water Alkenes do not react readily with water. If concentrated sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst, an alcohol will be created

Polyethene● Undergoes additions reactions with itself to

make a chain● n CH2=CH2 → [-CH2-CH2-]n

Reactions of Alkenes: Polymerization: Polychloroethene● Each chloroethene contains 1 chlorine● Therefore when the chloroethene

molecules polymerize, every other carbon will bond to 1 chlorine

● This is PVC

10.3.4 Reactions of Alkenes: A HintDraw the structure of your alkene so that the C=C

is in the middle and the other parts bond above and below the carbons.

For example. A polymer of but-2-ene should look like:

= +

Uses of alkene productsEthene can be used for a variety of purposes:● Steam → ethanol● Polymerize → polyethene● React with chlorine → chloroethene… which

interacts with ethanol → PVC● React with benzene → phenylethene

(styrene)… which interacts with ethanol → polystyrene
