This resource covers the fundamentals of the A-Level / Higher chemistry topic “Halogenoalkanes”. Classification, naming rules, preparation, physical properties and chemical reactions (elimination and nucleophilic substitution) are covered. Mechanisms including SN1 and SN2 are also described with emphasis on the energy profiles of each. This resource can be used as a revision guide, homework or as part of a planned lesson.

This resource is split into two parts and covers the fundamentals of the A-Level / Higher chemistry topics “Alkanes” (15 pages) and “Alkenes” (23 pages). Classification, naming rules, physical properties and chemical reactions (combustion, free radical addition, Markovnikov rule, addition polymerisation etc. ) are covered. This resource can be used as a revision guide, homework or as part of a planned lesson.
