has negative charge

1. What is meant by the term nucleophilic substitution? eg. amonia, water
is reaction in which one nucleophile is substituted for another

a) Bond C-X is non-polar. T/F

b) They contain only single bonds. T/F
c) Many of them are excellent fat solvets. T/F
d) They are less reactive compounds. T/F

7. Neoprene, Kelen, inhalation anesthetic, „yellow“ desinfection, insecticide (DDT), PVC or

Teflon. Which group of compounds characterizes the given list?
a) alkohols
b) halogen derivatives of hydrocarbons
c) heterocyclic compounds
d) nitrogen derivatives of hydrocarbons
 8. Which of the elements is not among the halogens?
a) Br
b) B
c) Cl
d) F

7. Know what organic chemistry compound these are: These compounds have at least one
hydrogen atom replaced by an element, which has one unpaired electron in it´s „p“ orbital and it
formes single bond. These compounds have characteristic smell and i tis necessary to dissolve
them use non-polar solvents. For proof of their presence, uses the test called Beilstein´s test.
a) hydroxy derivatives of hydrocarbons

b) halogen derivatives of hydrocarbons

c) nitrogen derivatives of hydrocarbons

d) esters

8. Choose the correct statements:

a) Electrophilic agents are particles with negative charge.
b) Electrophiles are electroneutral molecules with free electron pair.
c) Electrophiles are particles with one unpair electron.
d) Electrophilic agents are particles with positive charge.

9. Which reactions are typical for halogenoalkanes?

nucleophilic substitution; elimination reaction

10. Give an example of SN:

11. Give an example of SE (How do we call this reaction?):

12. Give an example of elimination of halogenoalkanes:

13. What are freons?

freons

14. Give one example of CFC´s with usage?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are fully or partly halogenated hydrocarbons that contain carbon ©, hydrogen (H),
chlorine (Cl), and fluorine (F).
