Classify the following reactions as addition (A), substitution (S), elimination (E) or rearrangement (R).
An addition reaction occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. This product will contain all the atoms that were present in the reactants. Addition reactions occur with unsaturated compounds.
An elimination reaction occurs when a reactant is broken up into two products. Elimination reactions occur with saturated compounds.
A substitution reaction occurs when an exchange of elements in the reactants takes place. The initial reactants are transformed to give a final product.
A rearrangement is a reaction in which the reactant and the products are constitutional isomers and the reactant is converted to the product by the migration of one or more ligands from one point of the reactant to another.
