D
Substitution reaction
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the types of reactions listed: Addition, Rearrangement, Elimination, and Substitution.
Understand that an addition reaction involves the breaking of a π bond, such as a carbon-carbon double bond, and the addition of atoms or groups to the carbon atoms involved in the double bond.
Recognize that in a rearrangement reaction, the structure of the molecule is reorganized without adding or removing atoms.
Note that an elimination reaction involves the removal of atoms or groups from a molecule, often resulting in the formation of a double bond.
Understand that a substitution reaction involves the replacement of an atom or group in a molecule with another atom or group, without breaking a double bond.
