Homework- Homolytic free radical mechanism

Please finish the homolytic free radical mechanism. Read the chapter on organic chemistry in your book, I think that we can get through the material much more quickly if you have looked at it before. You should have also finished all of the questions on naming the alkenes. The ones in the packet and the extra ones that I gave you. Also have a look at the Attached powerpoint.

You must send me today your IA if you haven't done so already!!!!!!!

Have a good week

Organic Chemistry

This is a huge topic. The following links will help as an inytroduction to functional groups and naming:

Electrolysis and metal extraction

The following is a chem guide link. Remember that the extraction of reactive metals didn't really occur until the discovery of electricity and electrolysis. Electrolysis is where a voltage is applied to cause a non spontaneous reaction to occur

Electrolysis

The following is a link to the interactive syllabus. It has the standard hydrogen electrode, the standard electrode potential values, balancing redox reactions, working out voltage, predicting spontaneity and something about electrolysis.
