"Lavelle's responses to questions on the quiz prep problems seem to imply that we are expected to know how to solve all of the problems in the quiz prep"
I explicitly stated in the quiz 3 prep answers above:
"Q3. Alkenes not covered in your Quiz 3."Q3 was an alkene structure and we covered these structures and names (geometric isomers, cis/trans, E/Z) this week (which is not on quiz 3).
Your question is also ambiguous. Do you mean alkene structures, cis/trans, etc. The answer is again no, not for quiz 3.
If you mean electrophilic addition across a double bond which I covered three times for an entire lecture last week. Yes. A double bond is an alkene. One cannot cover the electrophilic addition (across a double bond) reaction mechanism and not have an alkene in the reaction.
