Free-radical substitution with halogens needs UV light: initiation, propagation, termination. It gives a mixture of products.

Who is the Alkanes poster for?

Alkanes belongs to the Chemistry section rather than to a school year, because physical science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning organic can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Alkanes poster?

Only single bonds, and C-H bonds that are strong and non-polar. Little for a reagent to attack. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Alkanes belongs on the wall where that physical science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Alkanes?

Alcohols, Alkenes and Benzene sit alongside Alkanes in the Chemistry section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AlcoholsAlkenesBenzene

Is the Alkanes poster free to download and print?

Yes. Alkanes downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Chemistry section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence

What size does the Alkanes poster print at?

Alkanes is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Alkanes loses nothing.Printing guide
