organic reactions

when an atom or group of atoms in a molecule are replaced with another atom or group of atoms

halogenation

unpaired electrons

UV light breaks down a chlorine molecule (cl2) by homolytic fission

a reaction that continues on because a product from one step is the reactant for another step

a combination that can cause the end of a reaction

Only happens in UV light (free radicals)

ethene found in products ( only formed from the combination of two free radicals)

Inhibitor like o2 slows down reaction (inhibitor can only stop chain reactions)

esterification alcohol and carboxylic acid react

one in which two or more molecules react to form a single molecule

a small molecule is removed from a larger molecule to leave a double bond in the larger molecule

reduction
