Hydrocarbons (Aliphatic)

हाइड्रोकार्बनहरू (अल्केन, अल्किन, अल्काइन)

Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes preparation, chemical reactions, Markovnikov rule, peroxide effect (anti-Markovnikov), ozonolysis of alkenes, acidity of alkynes.

Lesson Summary & Key Concepts

Detailed mechanisms of electrophilic additions to alkenes, Markovnikov addition, Kharasch peroxide effect (anti-Markovnikov), and ozonolysis for locating double bonds.

Quick Revision Takeaways

Common Exam Pitfalls to Avoid

⚠️ Common Error: Applying peroxide effect to HCl or HI.

✓ Correct Approach: HCl and HI always follow Markovnikov rule even in the presence of peroxides.

Why: H-Cl bond is too strong (103 kcal/mol) and I-I coupling is energetically favored over radical addition.
