Expert Answer
Substitution reaction:
- The reaction in which one or more hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon are replaced by some other atoms is called a substitution reaction.
- Substitutions reactions are a characteristic property of saturated hydrocarbons (Alkanes).
- For example: Methane reacts with chlorine in the presence of sunlight to form chloromethane and hydrogen chloride.
Where, R is an alkyl group.
Addition reaction:
- The reaction which involves direct addition of an attacking agent, across the double or triple bonds are called addition reactions.
- An unsaturated hydrocarbon combines with another substance to give a single product.
- Addition reaction like the addition of hydrogen, chlorine or bromine are a characteristic property of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
- This reaction occurs only in unsaturated compounds where there are double or triple bonds.
e.g.
Combustion Reaction:
- Combustion or Burning is a chemical change in which combustible substances combine with oxygen to produce new products called oxides with the liberation of heat and light.
- It is an exothermic reaction.
For example combustion of methane is given as under
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
Magnesium combines with oxygen to form white colour magnesium oxide with liberation of some amount of heat.
