AS Chemistry: Alkenes (OCR)

4 well structured chemistry lessons covering topics in Alkenes (Year 12) suitable for the OCR specification

NOTE: If you are also looking for a lesson on stereoisomerism in alkenes , this can also be found in my shop under the title ‘Isomers’

Lesson 1: The Properties of Alkenes

1. To know the general formula of alkenes
2. To explain the shape and bond angle around each carbon atom of a C=C bond
3. To describe how π and σ bonds are formed in alkenes

Lesson 2: Addition Reactions of Alkenes

1. To know what an electrophile is
2. To describe what an electrophilic addition reaction is
3. To outline the mechanism for electrophilic addition

Lesson 3: Addition Polymerisation

1. To know the repeat unit of an addition polymer deduced from a polymer
2. To identify the monomer that would produce a given section of an addition polymer
3. To construct repeating units based on provided monomers

Lesson 4: Dealing with Polymer Waste

1. To understand the benefits for sustainability of processing waste polymers by:
   i) Combustion for energy production
   ii) Use as an organic feedstock for the production of plastics and other organic chemicals
   iii) Removal of toxic waste products such as HCl
2. To understand the benefits to the environment of development of biodegradable and photodegradable polymers

Declaimer: Please refrain from purchasing this popular resource for an interview lesson or a formal observation. This is because planning your own lessons including using your own lesson PowerPoints is a fundamental skill of a qualified/unqualified teacher that will be reviewed during these scenarios outlined above
