We’ll revisit the core foundations of organic chemistry, including key definitions, bonding, and structures. Then we’ll move on to alkanes, focusing on their reactions, mechanisms, and tricky exam questions.
This session covers the structure and reactivity of alkenes. You’ll practise drawing and explaining mechanisms, tackling past-paper questions on electrophilic addition, and learning exam strategies for longer 4–6 mark answers.
We’ll explore the properties and reactions of haloalkanes, including nucleophilic substitution and elimination. The focus will be on applying knowledge to difficult past-paper questions and mastering common exam pitfalls.
