Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of the given reaction has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The addition, elimination and substitution reactions are types of organic reactions which can be identified by the number of bonds to carbon in reactants and products.
Addition reaction:
When an unsaturated reactant becomes a saturated product, the reaction is said to be addition reaction.
Elimination reaction:
When a saturated reactant becomes an unsaturated product, the reaction is said to be elimination reaction.
Addition and elimination reactions are opposite to each other.
Substitution reaction:
When a group or an atom in the reactant is substituted by a group or an atom from the other reactant, the reaction is said to be substitution reaction. In substitution reaction, the substitution occurs on the carbon from which a group or an atom is removed.
