Syllabus sections

Reactivity 3. What are the mechanisms of chemical change? » Reactivity 3.4—Electron-pair sharing reactions » Reactivity 3.4.5—Alkenes are susceptible to electrophilic attack because of the high electron density of the carbon–carbon double bond. These reactions lead to electrophilic addition. Deduce equations for the reactions of alkenes with water, halogens, and hydrogen halides.
