1. Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is the reaction of a compound with water/addition of H-OH to a compound. Alkenes undergo hydrolysis to form alkanols
2. Polymerization/Self addition
Addition polymerization is the process where a small unsaturated monomer (alkene ) molecule join together to form a large saturated molecule. Only alkenes undergo addition polymerization.
Addition polymers are named from the alkene/monomer making the polymer and adding the prefix “poly” before the name of monomer to form a polyalkene.
During addition polymerization:
(i)the double bond in alkenes break
(ii)free radicals are formed
(iii)the free radicals collide with each other and join to form a larger molecule.
The more collisions the larger the molecule.
