Introduction
We can substitute atoms of hydrocarbons with some other elements.
Pre-Requisites:
Hydrocarbons, saturated hydrocarbons
Activity:
Substitution of hydrogen with chlorine is a very fast reaction.
Real Life Question:
What compounds can you think of by replacing hydrogen atoms with atom of other elements?
Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Substitution reaction | When one or more group of atoms is replaced by another atom or group of atoms, it is known as substitution reaction. |
Learning aids / Gadgets
| Gadgets | How it can be used |
|---|---|
| Stick models | Make saturated hydrocarbons. Now replace hydrogen atoms with atoms of other elements and try naming the compounds formed. |
Real life uses :
These reactions are used to make alkanes with big chains of carbon.

Practical examples around us
| Examples | Explainations |
|---|---|
| Alkanes with long chainschoice. | These kinds of alkanes are made by joining alkanes of small chains. One of the steps involved is addition of chlorine. |
