Question

Which of the following is an addition reaction ?

• A. $H_{2}C=C{H}_2+X_2\to H-\stackrel{H}{\stackrel{|}{\underset{H}{\underset{|}{C}}}}-\stackrel{H}{\stackrel{|}{\underset{H}{\underset{|}{C}}}}-X$
• B. $C{H}_4\to C{H}_{3}Cl+HCl$
• C. Both (a) and (b)
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$H_{2}C=C{H}_2+X_2\to H-\stackrel{H}{\stackrel{|}{\underset{H}{\underset{|}{C}}}}-\stackrel{H}{\stackrel{|}{\underset{H}{\underset{|}{C}}}}-X$

What is an addition reactions?

$\to$ The organic reaction in which atoms or group of atoms react to form a single product having all the atoms of the combining units.

Therefore,

$H_{2}C=C{H}_2+X_2\to H-\stackrel{H}{\stackrel{|}{\underset{H}{\underset{|}{C}}}}-\stackrel{H}{\stackrel{|}{\underset{H}{\underset{|}{C}}}}-X$
is an addition reaction.
