Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the types of organic reactions: Substitution, Rearrangement, Elimination, and Addition. Each type involves different changes to the molecular structure.
Substitution reactions involve replacing one atom or group in a molecule with another. This can lead to changes in the molecular structure, but the overall connectivity of the molecule may remain similar.
Rearrangement reactions involve the reorganization of the molecular structure without adding or removing atoms. This type of reaction typically changes the connectivity of atoms within the molecule but does not alter the molecular formula.
Elimination reactions involve the removal of atoms or groups from a molecule, often resulting in the formation of a double bond or ring structure. This changes the molecular structure significantly.
Addition reactions involve adding atoms or groups to a molecule, often resulting in the breaking of a double bond or ring structure. This also leads to a change in the molecular structure.
