C
Elimination reaction
D
Rearrangement reaction
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the types of organic reactions: Addition, Substitution, Elimination, and Rearrangement. Each has distinct characteristics.
Addition reactions involve adding atoms or groups to a molecule, typically resulting in the formation of single bonds from double or triple bonds.
Substitution reactions involve replacing an atom or group in a molecule with another atom or group, without changing the overall number of bonds.
Elimination reactions involve the removal of a small molecule, such as water or hydrogen halide, from the reactant, leading to the formation of a double bond. This is the key characteristic of elimination reactions.
Rearrangement reactions involve the reorganization of the structure of a molecule, changing the connectivity of atoms without adding or removing atoms.
