write formulas of ionic compounds from ionic charges and oxidation numbers (shown by a Roman numeral), including: (a) the prediction of ionic charge from the position of an element in the Periodic Table (b) recall of the names and formulas for the following ions: \(NO_3^-\), \(CO_3^{2-}\), \(SO_4^{2-}\), \(OH^-\), \(NH_4^+\), \(Zn^{2+}\), \(Ag^+\), \(HCO_3^-\), \(PO_4^{3-}\)

describe the following reactions of alkenes: (a) the electrophilic addition of (i) hydrogen in a hydrogenation reaction, \( H_2(g) \) and Pt/Ni catalyst and heat (ii) steam, \( H_2O(g) \) and \( H_3PO_4 \) catalyst (iii) a hydrogen halide, \( HX(g) \), at room temperature (iv) a halogen, \( X_2 \) (b) the oxidation by cold dilute acidified \( KMnO_4 \) to form the diol (c) the oxidation by hot concentrated acidified \( KMnO_4 \) leading to the rupture of the carbon–carbon double bond and the identities of the subsequent products to determine the position of alkene linkages in larger molecules (d) addition polymerisation exemplified by the reactions of ethene and propene

describe and interpret, in terms of changes in oxidation number, the reaction of chlorine with cold and with hot aqueous sodium hydroxide and recognise these as disproportionation reactions
