Cyclohexene
Questions
1. Hydrocarbons are only held together by weak ________________ forces. This results in
them having _____ solubility in water, and _____ boiling and melting points.
2. In simple terms, what is the difference between saturated and unsaturated
hydrocarbons?
3. Look at your structural diagrams for cyclohexane and cylcohexene. Which is
saturated? Which is unsaturated?
4. Based on your observations, which group, alkanes or alkenes, is most reactive?
5. a) What colour is Br2 ? The reaction of propene with bromine is shown below.
Notice that during the reaction the
multiple bond in the propene
changes to a single bond as the
bromine attaches.
b) Draw the reaction that cyclohexene underwent (keep in mind that when Br 2 adds to the
molecule all but one of the bonds in a multiple bond will be broken. In other words, the
ring structure is left intact).
c) Why did the orange colour disappear when Br 2 was added to cyclohexene?
d) What do you think would happen if bromine were added to an alkyne? Why?
e) Which would discolour more Br2: one mole of ethene or one mole of ethyne?
6. This type of reaction is referred to as an addition reaction. Why do you think this is?
