Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The equation for an addition reaction between 3-hexene and
Concept Introduction:
The addition reaction is a type of organic reaction which can be identified by the number of bonds to carbon in reactants and products.
Addition reaction:
When an unsaturated reactant becomes a saturated product, the reaction is said to be addition reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The equation for an elimination reaction between 2-bromopropane and hot potassium ethoxide,
Concept Introduction:
The elimination reaction is a type of organic reaction which can be identified by the number of bonds to carbon in reactants and products.
Elimination reaction:
When a saturated reactant becomes an unsaturated product, the reaction is said to be elimination reaction.
(c)
Interpretation:
The equation for a light induced substitution reaction between
Concept Introduction:
The substitution reaction is a type of organic reaction which can be identified by the number of bonds to carbon in reactants and products.
Substitution reaction:
When a group or an atom in the reactant is substituted by a group or an atom from the other reactant, the reaction is said to be substitution reaction. In substitution reaction, the substitution occurs on the carbon from which a group or an atom is removed.
