-
hydrolysis
water is a reactant in the splitting of a larger molecule
-
hydration
an alkene is converted to an alcohol R-OH
-
reduction
- an organic acid is converted to an aldehyde
- gain electron
- lose oxygen, gain hydrogen
-
condensation
two molecules are joined, and water is produced
-
carboxylation
carbon dioxide is added to a molecule
-
phosphorylation
A condensation reaction where a phosphate (Pi) is bonded to another molecule.
-
oxidation
- loss of electron
- add oxygen, lose hydrogen
-
addition
any alkene reaction involving combining with a molecule X-Y, with loss of the C=C double bond.
-
combustion
an alkane reacts rapidly in air to produce CO2, H2O, and heat
-
reversible
an equilibrium reaction
-
synthesis
the general term for A + B à AB reactions
-
hydrogenation
an alkene is converted to an alkane
-
Synthesis reaction
A + B ---> AB
-
Decomposition reaction
AB ---> A + B
-
Exchange reaction
- AB + C ---> AC + B (single)
- AB + CD ----> AD + CB (double)
