Answer:

B

Knowledge points:

13.2.1.1 homologous series
13.2.1.2 saturated and unsaturated
13.2.1.3 homolytic and heterolytic fission
13.2.1.4 free radical, initiation, propagation, termination (the use of arrows to show movement of single electrons is not required)
13.2.1.5 nucleophile, electrophile, nucleophilic, electrophilic
13.2.1.6 addition, substitution, elimination, hydrolysis, condensation
13.2.1.7 oxidation and reduction (in equations for organic redox reactions, the symbol [O] can be used to represent one atom of oxygen from an oxidising agent and the symbol [H] one atom of hydrogen from a reducing agent)
13.2.2.1 free-radical substitution
13.2.2.2 electrophilic addition
13.2.2.3 nucleophilic substitution
13.2.2.4 nucleophilic addition (in organic reaction mechanisms, the use of curly arrows to represent movement of electron pairs is expected; the arrow should begin at a bond or a lone pair of electrons)
14.2.1.1 elimination of HX from a halogenoalkane by ethanolic NaOH and heat
14.2.1.2 dehydration of an alcohol, by using a heated catalyst
14.2.1.3 cracking of a longer chain alkane
14.2.2.1.1 hydrogen in a hydrogenation reaction, and Pt/Ni catalyst and heat
14.2.2.1.2 steam, catalyst
14.2.2.1.3 a hydrogen halide, HX(g) at room temperature
14.2.2.1.4 a halogen,
14.2.2.2 the oxidation by cold dilute acidified to form the diol
14.2.2.3 the oxidation by hot concentrated acidified leading to the rupture of the carbon–carbon double bond and the identities of the subsequent products to determine the position of alkene linkages in larger molecules
14.2.2.4 addition polymerisation exemplified by the reactions of ethene and propene
14.2.3 describe the use of aqueous bromine to show the presence of a C=C bond
14.2.4 describe the mechanism of electrophilic addition in alkenes, using bromine / ethene and hydrogen bromide / propene as examples
14.2.5 describe and explain the inductive effects of alkyl groups on the stability of primary, secondary and tertiary cations formed during electrophilic addition (this should be used to explain Markovnikov addition)
