Reactions of Organic Chemicals
Hook:
What polymers do the students know about? (Kevlar, PVC, nylon, Teflon, etc.)
Pedagogy:
What polymers do the students know about? (Kevlar, PVC, nylon, Teflon, etc.)
Pedagogy:
The above video explains
Explain the kinds of chemical reactions which are common of the organic chemicals which have been covered so far, such as:
Alkenes to alcohols by addition of water
Primary alcohols to aldehydes by oxidation
Secondary / tertiary alcohols to ketones by oxidation
Alderhydes to carboxylic acids via oxidation
Ester and amide formation
Formation of polymers through addition and condensation reactions
Consolidation:
Have the students write and hand in what the products of two different reactions written on the board are. (For this teachers should not repeat a reaction type so they can find which reactions students are most comfortable with and which they may be having problems with).
