Demonstrate an understanding of the structure, properties and chemical behaviour of compounds within each class of organic compounds
Added by Naomi O.
Step 1
Alkanes: Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula C_nH_(2n+2). They have single covalent bonds between carbon atoms and are relatively unreactive due to the strong C-C and C-H bonds. They undergo substitution reactions, such as halogenation, in Show more…
