This rule states: In a normal addition, the negative part of the addendum (molecule to be added) adding to the double bond of an unsymmetrical alkene goes to that carbon atom which has lesser number of hydrogen atoms. Examples are:
What is the function of iodic acid in the iodination of alkanes? Can we use any other substance in its place?
What is alternation effect?
Arrange the following compounds in order of their increasing boiling points:
n-Pentane, n-Hexane, Ethane, 2-2-Dimethylpentane, 2-Methylpentane.
Why is light or heat necessary to initiate chlorination reaction of alkanes?
What are conformation or rotational isomers?
Can you separate the two conformations of ethane?
Why are alkenes called olefins?
