Topics Tested

recall that primary halogenoalkanes tend to react via the \( S_N2 \) mechanism; tertiary halogenoalkanes via the \( S_N1 \) mechanism; and secondary halogenoalkanes by a mixture of the two, depending on structure

recall the reactions (reagents and conditions) by which alkanes can be produced: (a) addition of hydrogen to an alkene in a hydrogenation reaction, \( H_2(g) \) and Pt/Ni catalyst and heat (b) cracking of a longer chain alkane, heat with \( Al_2O_3 \)

deduce the possible isomers for an organic molecule of known molecular formula
