1 State that the bonding in alkanes is single covalent and that alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons

2 Describe the properties of alkanes as being generally unreactive, except in terms of combustion and substitution by chlorine

3 State that in a substitution reaction one atom or group of atoms is replaced by another atom or group of atoms

4 Describe the substitution reaction of alkanes with chlorine as a photochemical reaction, with ultraviolet light providing the activation energy, Eₐ, and draw the structural or displayed formulae of the products, limited to monosubstitution
