Substitution Reactions

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the characteristics of substitution reactions in saturated compounds. • Explain the difference between a saturated and an unsaturated compound using bromine water as a test for saturation. • Describe the products formed during halogenation, including the formation of haloalkanes and hydrogen halides. • Apply Markovinoff's rule to predict the product formed during halogenation of butane. • Identify the reactants and products in hydrolysis reactions, including the formation of alcohols from haloalkanes.
