Alkene reactions

At the end of this activity, students should be able to:
– understand the concept of electrophilic addition
– understand why alkenes undergo electrophilic addition
– be able to write molecular and structural equations for reactions involving alkenes
– understand why addition reactions yield mixtures of isomeric alkanes, and predict their proportion in the mixture
– understand the importance of addition polymerisation and be able to give examples of this type of reaction.
