Organic Reactions - (Organic/Nuclear Chemistry)

Substitution reaction

One in which one or more atoms replace another atom or group of atoms in a molecule

Addition reaction

One in which two parts of a molecule are added to an unsaturated molecule, increasing the saturation of the molecule

Hydrogenation

Hydrogen atoms are added to an unsaturated molecule

Condensation reaction

One in which two molecules or parts of the same molecule combine

Elimination reaction

One in which a simple molecule, such as water or ammonia, is formed from adjacent carbon atoms of a larger molecule

Polymers

Large molecules made of many small unites joined to each other through organic reactions

Monomers

Small units that make up polymers

Copolymer

Polymer made from two or more different monomers

Addition polymer

Polymer formed by addition reactions between monomers that contain a double bond

Condensation polymer

Polymer formed by condensation reactions
