29 views10 pages

Document Summary

Addition to the carbon-carbon double bond: pi bond is broken, sigma bonds are formed to two new atoms or groups of atoms. Chain-growth polymers: single most important reaction of ethylene and other low molecular weight alkenes, alkenes form polymers by the addition of monomers to a growing polymer chain with catalysts called initiators. Describes in detail how a chemical reaction occurs. Describes which bonds break and which new ones form. Describes order and relative rates of various steps. Reaction takes place in solution reaction mechanisms describes role of solvent. Reaction involves catalyst reaction mechanisms describe role of catalyst. Show the changes in energy that occur in going from reactants to products. Energy measured along the vertical axis. Reaction coordinate: change in position of atoms during a reaction, measured on horizontal axis, indicates how far the reaction has progressed. Exothermic: different in energy between the reactants and products, energy of products is lower than that of the reactants, heat released.
