Yep, just follow the link

Can someone explain why alkenes are more reactive than alkanes. Is it because of the pi bond. Can someone explain the pi bond bit to me. Thanks :smile:

The double bond has a high electron density and is susceptible to electrophilic attack

Did you ever read the official edexcel reason why pi is weaker? Made me laugh lol

In the book? I never open it lol It's collecting dust
Well i saw mark scheme saying not much overlap which is..:dontknow:

ah thought so :smile: . What about the sigma bond - anything I have to know about that.

I have nine days to revise unit two for bio and chem D: just great and hoefully it does push it up I hope grade boundaries are low x


I have 9 days to revise unit 2 law chemistry and biology :'((( x

Yeah it was something like that. Best ms answer was when they felt the need to put 'allow the number 4 to be drawn either way' in the notes lol

Haha. Do they really feel the need to tell the marker to accept misspellings like surely that is obvious

And I wonder how common "sunshine yello percipitate" was to make it get onto the public mark scheme

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between positional and functional group isomers? I'm finding it hard to understand it properly from the book.

Positional - one or more atoms are in a different place eg 2-bromoheptane and 4-bromoheptane the bromine is attached to a different carbon.

Functional group - same atoms but in different functional groups eg you might have propanal and propanone both of which have exactly the same atoms but different functional groups

If you have CH2F2 and are asked to draw the partial charges, what do you do with the hydrogen atoms since they're less electronegative than carbon?

Partial positive charges on the hydrogens.

Ohh okay, is there an overal dipole?

There will be a dipole, partially negative towards the fluorines and partially positive towards the hydrogens.
