Classification of Organic Reactions and Examples of Common Types

The video tutorial explains how to classify organic reactions into groups like combustion, substitution, and addition. It covers complete and incomplete combustion, highlighting the differences in products and conditions. Substitution reactions involve replacing a functional group, while addition reactions combine molecules to form larger ones. The tutorial concludes with a summary of these reaction types.

Why is it beneficial to classify organic reactions into groups?

• To make reactions more expensive

• To increase the number of reaction steps

• To simplify the synthesis of complex molecules

• To reduce the need for catalysts

What is a key characteristic of complete combustion?

• Formation of carbon monoxide

• Formation of soot

• Formation of carbon dioxide and water

• Formation of hydrogen gas

What is formed during incomplete combustion due to insufficient oxygen?

• Carbon dioxide and water

• Methane

• Carbon monoxide and particulates

• Hydrogen gas

In a substitution reaction, what happens to the functional group?

• It is replaced with a new functional group

• It is reduced

• It is removed completely

• It is oxidized

What is an example of an addition reaction?

• Oxidation of alcohols

• Polymerization of ethene to form polyethylene

• Substitution of chlorine in propane

• Combustion of hydrocarbons
