Students should:
$understand the reactions of halogenoalkanes with: i aqueous potassium hydroxide to produce alcohols (where the hydroxide ion acts as a nucleophile) ii aqueous silver nitrate in ethanol (where water acts as a nucleophile) iii potassium cyanide to produce nitriles (where the cyanide ion acts as a nucleophile) Students should know this as an example of increasing the length of the carbon chain. iv ammonia to produce primary amines (where the ammonia molecule acts as a nucleophile) v ethanolic potassium hydroxide to produce alkenes (where the hydroxide ion acts as a base)$
