A #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky intro to the frontier molecular orbital view of electrophilic addition to alkenes. It is a companion to the last one (bsky.app/profile/maki...). It is an oversimplification but useful at #UG level (I hope). It shows the limitations of curly arrow mechanisms. Enjoy.

The 1st in a series of #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky summaries on the reactions of alkenes. I'm starting with nucleophilic alkenes & the common UG reactions of the addition of HX, Br2, epoxidation etc. It's a bit crowded but hopefully it is useful. More details & reactions over the coming weeks.
