Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the type of reaction taking place in the given equation. For example, determine if it is a substitution, addition, elimination, or oxidation-reduction reaction. This will guide how the reactants transform into products.
Analyze the reactants and their functional groups. Look for key features such as double bonds, halogens, hydroxyl groups, or other functional groups that may dictate the reaction mechanism.
Apply the appropriate reaction mechanism based on the functional groups and reaction type. For instance, if it is an addition reaction, consider how the reagent adds across a double bond or triple bond.
Balance the chemical equation by ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. Also, check that the charges are balanced if ions are involved.
Verify the products by considering the stability of the resulting compounds. For example, in organic reactions, more stable carbocations or resonance-stabilized products are often favored.
