Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the types of reactions listed. Electrophilic addition, nucleophilic substitution, and oxidation-reduction are common types of organic chemistry reactions.
Electrophilic addition involves the addition of an electrophile to a nucleophile, typically seen in reactions involving alkenes and alkynes.
Nucleophilic substitution involves the replacement of a leaving group by a nucleophile, commonly seen in reactions of alkyl halides.
Oxidation-reduction reactions involve the transfer of electrons between molecules, changing the oxidation state of atoms, and are fundamental in organic chemistry.
Photosynthesis is a biological process that converts light energy into chemical energy in plants, and while it involves chemical reactions, it is not classified as a type of organic chemistry reaction.
