Types of Organic Reactions
Substitution Reactions
Definition
A chemical reaction in which one functional group in a chemical compound is replaced by another functional group
Nucleophilic Reactions
Definition
: It is a type of reaction where a nucleophile gets attached to the positively charged atoms or molecules of the other substance.
SN1
Definition
: In this the eliminition of the leaving group and the addition of the nucleophile occurs simultaneously
SN2
Definition
: It takes place where the central carbon atom has easy access to the nucleophile.
Electrophilic Reactions
Definition
: A chemical reaction in which the functional group attached to a compound is replaced by an electrophile.
Addition Reaction
Definition
: An organic reaction where two or more molecules combine to form a larger one.
Nucleophilic Addition Reaction
Definition
: A reaction in which a chemical compound with an electron-deficit or electrophillic double or triple bond, a pi bond, reacts with a nucleophile which is an electron-rich reactant with the dissappearance of the double bond and creation of two new single, or sigma bonds.
Electrophillic Addition Reaction
Definition
: It can be described as an addition reaction in which a reactant with multiple bonds as in a double or triple bond undergoes its pi bond broken and two new sigma bonds are formed.
Elimination Reaction
Definition
: It is a type of reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule in either a one or two step mechanism
E1 Mechanism
Definition
: E1 is a model to explain a particular type of chemical elimination reaction.E1 stands for unimolecular elimination
E2 Mechanism
Definition
: E2 stands for bimolecular elimination involves one step mechanism in which carbon hydrogen and carbon halogen bonds break to form a double bond
Redox Reaction
Oxidation Reaction
Definition
: A process which involves addition of oxygen or any electronegative element or the removal of hydrogen or any electropositive element
Reduction Reaction
Definition
: It is a half reaction in which a chemical species reduces its oxidation number by gaining electrons..in short it is gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of a chemical or atoms within it
Disproportionate Reaction
Definition
: Reaction in which a single reactant is oxidized and reduced
Combination Reaction
Definition
:These reactions are the opposite of decomposition reaction and hence involve the combination of two compounds to form a single compound.
Decomposition Reaction
Definition
:This involves the breakdown of a compound into different components
Displacement Reaction
Metal Displacement Reaction
Definition
:In this,a metal present in the compound is displaced by another metal
Non Metal Displacement Reaction
Definition
:In this,we can find a hydrogen displacement and sometimes rarely occuring reactions involving oxygen displacement
Definition
: In this an atom or an ion in a compound is replaced by an atom or an ion of another element.
Definition
: It is a chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred between two reactants participating in it.This transfer of electrons can be identified by observing the changes in the oxidation states of reacting species
