Sergey Bylikin, Gary Horner and, Brian Murphy Solutions for Chapter: Organic Chemistry, Exercise 6: Questions

Identify the formulas of the organic product $\mathrm{C}$ in the given reaction.

 ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_3\mathrm{CBr}+\mathrm{NaOH}\to \mathrm{C}$

Identify the formulas of the organic product E, formed in the reaction.

${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{C}={\mathrm{CH}}_2+{\mathrm{Br}}_2\to \mathbf{E}$

${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{C}={\mathrm{CH}}_2$ can react to form a polymer. Name this type of polymer and draw the structural formula of a section of this polymer consisting of three repeating units.

Alkenes are an economically and chemically important family of organic compounds.

Deduce the Lewis structure of chloroethene and identify the formula of the repeating unit of the polymer poly(chloroethene).
