Elements of Organic Chemistry I

Skills from Chapter 3 - Alkenes. Organic Reactions

• name alkenes and cycloalkenes
• identify cis-trans stereoisomers
• apply the sequence rules
• assign E, Z designations
• classify organic reaction types:
  addition, elimination, substitution, rearrangement
• identify bond polarities in functional groups
• identify nucleophiles and electrophiles
• identify the steps in the reaction mechanism for CH2=CH2 + HCl
• distinguish and apply kinetics and equilibrium concepts
• distinguish delta H and Ea for a reaction
• draw and identify the components of potential energy diagrams
• predict favorability of a reaction from kinetic or equilibrium data
