(ii) Addition reaction: Reaction in which atoms combine with unsaturated carbon compounds to form saturated carbon compounds.

(iii) Polymerization: Process in which a large number of simple molecules combine to form the complex molecule.

(iv) Combustion reaction: Reaction in which hydrocarbons combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water along with heat and light.
