Reactions of Alkanes

Today we looked at some of the physical and chemical properties of alkanes. Honestly, this is not very exciting, but it is useful to know these properties and reactions for the latter part of this unit.

Hydrocarbons - Alkanes

Today we looked at the alkanes:

• "functional group" - not really relevant for this homologous group
• general structure
• naming
• isomerism

The videos being posted in this blog will be from previous years while Mrs Goodman teaches us.

Acids and Bases Overview

We went over what we remember from last year, and where this topic will lead us. There were links made with physical properties, such as electrical conductivity, and chemical properties such as pH and reaction rates, for strong vs. weak acids.
