Halogenoalkanes (Edexcel)

2 well structured chemistry lessons covering topics on Halogenoalkanes (Year 12) suitable for the Edexcel specification.

Lesson 1: Halogenoalkanes and their reactions

1. To Identify halogenoalkanes as primary, secondary or tertiary
2. To understand why halogenoalkanes are more reactive than alkanes
3. To outline the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution involving halogenoalkanes
4. To understand how halogenoalkanes can undergo elimination reactions to form alkenes

Lesson 2: Reactivity of Halogenoalkanes

1. To describe how the rate of hydrolysis of haloalkanes can be determined by experiment using water, ethanol and silver nitrate solution
2. To explain the trend in the rates of hydrolysis of primary halogenoalkanes in terms of the bond enthalpies of carbon-halogen bonds
3. To describe the trend in the rates of hydrolysis of primary, secondary and tertiary halogenoalkanes
