#C6.2a
recognise functional groups and identify members of the same homologous series
homologous series, of alkanes, alkenes, alcohols and carboxylic acids
#C6.2b
name and draw the structural formulae, using fully displayed formulae, of the first four members of the straight chain alkanes, alkenes, alcohols and carboxylic acids
#C6.2c
predict the formulae and structures of products of reactions of the first four and other given members of the homologous series of alkanes, alkenes and alcohols
combustion; addition of bromine and hydrogen across a double bond; oxidation of alcohols to carboxylic acids using potassium manganate(VII)
#C6.2d
recall the basic principles of addition polymerisation by reference to the functional group in the monomer and the repeating units in the polymer
#C6.2e
explain the basic principles of condensation polymerisation
reference to the functional groups of the monomers, the minimum number of functional groups within a monomer, the number of repeating units in the polymer, and simultaneous formation of a small molecule, e.g. a polyester or polyamide, using block diagrams to represent polymers
#C6.2f
describe practical techniques to make a polymer by condensation
#C6.2g
deduce the structure of an addition polymer from a simple alkene monomer and vice versa
the following representation of a polymer [repeat unit]n
#C6.2h
recall that DNA is a polymer made from four different monomers called nucleotides and that other important naturally-occurring polymers are based on sugars and amino-acids
the names of the nucleotides
#C6.2i
recall that it is the generality of reactions of functional groups that determine the reactions of organic compounds
#C6.2j
describe the separation of crude oil by fractional distillation
the names of the fractions
#C6.2k
explain the separation of crude oil by fractional distillation
molecular size and intermolecular forces
#C6.2l
describe the fractions as largely a mixture of compounds of formula CnH2n+2 which are members of the alkane homologous series
#C6.2m
recall that crude oil is a main source of hydrocarbons and is a feedstock for the petrochemical industry
#C6.2n
explain how modern life is crucially dependent upon hydrocarbons and recognise that crude oil is a finite resource
#C6.2o
describe the production of materials that are more useful by cracking
conditions and reasons for cracking and some of the useful materials produced
#C6.2p
recall that a chemical cell produces a potential difference until the reactants are used up
#C6.2q
evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen/oxygen and other fuel cells for given uses
