CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Substitution reactions

• Substitution reactions are chemical reactions in which an atom or group of atoms is replaced with another atom or group of atoms in a compound.

  

Addition reactions

• reactions in which unsaturated organic compounds with double or triple bonds combine with certain molecules to form saturated compounds.

• The reactions in which triple bonded organic compounds partially combine with small molecules to form double bonded compounds are also addition reactions.

Combustion of hydrocarbon

• When hydrocarbons burn, they combine with oxygen in air to form CO2 and H2 O along with heat and light. This process is called combustion.

• CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂ O + Heat

  = methane

• 2C₄ H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂+ 10H2O + Heat

  =Butane
