that's not wrong, just not the whole story

it would be if you do Br2/CCl4 as the reagent

water is nucleophilic and can attack as well as the bromide ion

ok, well either this is part of an option topic, or you know too much info because i hadn't heard of that. thanks

haha, that's bcoz ur talking to phen0l... read his signature... x marks his achievements, + marks his goals.

my apologies,

by nucleophilic i mean something that can donate electrons

water has a lone pair of electrons on the oxygen and is willing to donate it to the alkene to form a hydroxy group

all i am trying to say in simple english is

-> high bromine concentration u get the two Br Br

-> low bromine concentration u get the Br OH

but most often u get a mixture of the two

iambored, sorry if i am confusing you i REALLY love my chemistry

I believe so... you can't help it with the presence of an IChO Gold Medalist can you...hmm

oooh bugger
i thought we didn't have to remember all these equations
i thought the syllabus point said those encountered - ie in the exam
NOOOOOooooo

hahaha this thread is intimidating... so many chem olympiad ppl

 

[+:: $i[Q]u3 ::+]
