Homolytic Fission
Where a covalent bond breaks and each electron goes to a different bonded atom.
1 of 9
Heterolytic Fission
Where a covalent bond breaks and both electrons go to one of the bonded atom.

Radical Substitution
Alkanes reacting with halogens in the presence of UV light to form halogenated organic compounds.
5 of 9
Electrophillic Addition
Electrophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction where, in a chemical compound, a π bond is broken and two new σ bonds are formed.
6 of 9
Addition polymerisation
Addition polymerisation small unsaturated monomers carbon to carbon double bonds) join up by the opening of the doublebond allowing them to join up to form a long carbon chain.
7 of 9
Esterfication of alcohols
Chemical reaction used to make an ester.
