Interpretation : To compare substitution reaction and addition reaction.
Concept Introduction : A addition reaction is used in
Answer to Problem 15LC
An addition reaction is generally used to convert unsaturated carbon into saturated carbon forming large products. Whereas substitution reaction is used to replace a group or an atom with another group or atom.
Explanation of Solution
Addition reaction:
In the above reaction,
In the above reaction, Ethene is reacted with chlorine to form a new molecule dichloroethane. Chlorine is added when the double bond between the carbon and carbon of ethene is disrupted.
Substitution reaction:
In the above equation, one hydrogen is substituted with chlorine to form
In the above example, the hydroxide group is substituted with Iodine to form Ethyl Iodide.
Addition reactions and substation reactions are used for different purposes in organic chemistry. Both reactions are important for synthesis in organic chemistry.
