, Alkanes: (Alkanes are very unreactive due to their strong C-C and C–H
bonds and non-polar nature)
Preparations Reactions
mono substitution
Mono substitution means that
only one chlorine/bromine
displaces a hydrogen.
Multiple substitutions may
also occur where multiple
chlorine/bromine atoms
displace the hydrogens
Complete combustion available.
(alkene)
Incomplete
combustion
