Intro to organic chem

Question 1

Substitution reaction

Answer 1

Substitution reaction involves the replacement of one atom or group of atoms by another atom or group of atoms in an organic molecule.

Question 2

Addition reaction

Answer 2

Addition reaction involves a small molecule being added to an unsaturated organic molecule to form
only one saturated product.

Question 3

Elimination reaction

Answer 3

Elimination reaction involves atoms or group of atoms being removed from two adjacent atoms in a saturated organic molecule to produce an unsaturated molecule and a small molecule

Question 4

Condensation reaction

Answer 4

Condensation reaction involves the combination of two different functional groups with the removal
of a small molecule, such as H2O or HCl.

Question 5

Hydrolysis reaction

Answer 5

Hydrolysis reaction involves the breaking down of one big molecule into two smaller molecules by the
action of water (usually catalysed by OH− or H+).

Question 6

Oxidation reaction

Answer 6

Oxidation reaction involves the gaining of oxygen atom(s) and / or the loss of hydrogen atom(s) by
the organic molecule in the reaction with an oxidising agent.

Question 7

Reduction reaction

Answer 7

Reduction reaction involves the gaining of hydrogen atom(s) and / or the loss of oxygen atom(s) by the organic molecule in the reaction with a reducing agent.

Question 8

Acid-base reaction

Answer 8

Acid-base reaction involves the losing or gaining of hydrogen ion(s) (H+ ions) by organic molecule in the reaction with an acid or base.
