Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon double bond are known as________
Alkenes are electron rich; therefore, simple alkenes do not react with_______ or bases, but will react with _______or acids.
In the IUPAC system, an alkene is identified by the suffix -ene-
Addition reactions in which two parts Of a reagent are added to the same side of
a double bond are known as _________additions.
Addition reactions in which two parts of a reagent are added from opposite
sides of a double bond are called ________ additions
Halogenation and halohydrin formation occur with ________-additions.

Answer 1

alkenes

nucleophiles

electrophiles

syn

anti

syn and anti

Step-by-step explanation:

Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon double bond are known as alkenes

Alkenes are electron rich; therefore, simple alkenes do not react with nucleophiles or bases, but will react with electrophiles or acids.

In the IUPAC system, an alkene is identified by the suffix -ene-

Addition reactions in which two parts Of a reagent are added to the same side of

a double bond are known as syn additions.

Addition reactions in which two parts of a reagent are added from opposite

sides of a double bond are called anti additions

Halogenation and halohydrin formation occur with syn and anti -additions.

Further explanations:

Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon single bond are known as alkanes. Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon double bond are known as alkenes. Compounds that contain a carbon-carbon triple bond are known as alkynes.

Nucleophiles are electron rich so they react with electron deficient centers while Electrophiles are electron deficient so they react with electron rich centers.
