B
Addition reaction
C
Substitution reaction
D
Rearrangement reaction
Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the types of reactions listed: Elimination, Addition, Substitution, and Rearrangement.
Understand that an addition reaction involves the breaking of a π bond, such as a carbon-carbon double bond, and the addition of new atoms or groups to the carbon atoms involved in the double bond.
Recognize that in an elimination reaction, atoms or groups are removed from a molecule, often resulting in the formation of a double bond, which is the opposite of what is described in the problem.
Note 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.
Understand that a rearrangement reaction involves the reorganization of the structure of a molecule, which does not specifically involve the breaking of a double bond and addition of atoms as described in the problem.
