describe the mechanism of the nucleophilic addition reactions of hydrogen cyanide with aldehydes and ketones in 17.1.2(b)
understand and use the following terminology associated with types of organic mechanisms: (a) free-radical substitution (b) electrophilic addition (c) nucleophilic substitution (d) nucleophilic addition (in organic reaction mechanisms, the use of curly arrows to represent movement of electron pairs is expected; the arrow should begin at a bond or a lone pair of electrons)
describe the mechanism of electrophilic addition in alkenes, using bromine/ethene and hydrogen bromide/propene as examples
