Since they are attracted to negatively charged areas due to the high proportion of electrons, electrophiles must be positively charged or partially positively charged.]]> 2017-05-09 14:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/smashsessionscience/rziopaga2o5t/wish/170775493 Electrophiles + smashsessionscience https://padlet.com/smashsessionscience/rziopaga2o5t/wish/170777804 2017-05-09 14:25:16 UTC https://padlet.com/smashsessionscience/rziopaga2o5t/wish/170777804 Key Concept - Nucleophile smashsessionscience https://padlet.com/smashsessionscience/rziopaga2o5t/wish/170783206 2017-05-09 14:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/smashsessionscience/rziopaga2o5t/wish/170783206 Alkene → Alkane smashsessionscience https://padlet.com/smashsessionscience/rziopaga2o5t/wish/170783245
  • Reagent = Hydrogen gas (H2)
  • Conditions = Heat (largely variable, but ~150°c) and a nickel catalyst
  • Type = Addition/hydrogenation      (due to the addition of hydrogen)
