Identify the types of reactions listed: Nucleophilic substitution, Electrophilic addition, Hydrogenation, and Nuclear fission.
Understand the context of organic chemistry synthesis, which typically involves reactions that form or modify organic molecules.
Nucleophilic substitution involves the replacement of a leaving group by a nucleophile, common in organic synthesis.
Electrophilic addition involves the addition of an electrophile to a double or triple bond, also common in organic synthesis.
Hydrogenation involves the addition of hydrogen (H₂) to unsaturated bonds, frequently used in organic chemistry to reduce or saturate compounds. Nuclear fission, however, is a nuclear reaction that involves splitting an atomic nucleus and is not related to organic chemistry synthesis.
