Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the types of organic reactions listed: elimination, substitution, and addition reactions. These are fundamental types of reactions in organic chemistry.
Elimination reactions involve the removal of a small molecule from a larger one, often resulting in the formation of a double bond. For example, the removal of water from an alcohol to form an alkene.
Substitution reactions involve the replacement of an atom or group in a molecule with another atom or group. A common example is the nucleophilic substitution reaction where a nucleophile replaces a leaving group in a molecule.
Addition reactions involve the addition of atoms or groups to a molecule, typically across a double or triple bond. An example is the addition of hydrogen to an alkene to form an alkane.
Precipitation reactions are not typically classified as organic reactions. They involve the formation of a solid from a solution, usually in inorganic chemistry contexts, and are not a common type of organic reaction.
