a positive ion/molecule that has a partial positive charge that is attracted to a negatively charged region, reacting by accepting a lone pair forming a covalent bond
1 of 6
Nucleophile
a molecule or negatively charged ion with a lone pair of electrons that it can donate to a positive charged atom to form a covalent bond.
2 of 6
Addition reaction
a reaction where two or more molecules react to form one larger molecule. 100% atom economy
3 of 6
Rearrangement reaction
a reaction where atoms are changed around within the structure. 100% atom economy.
4 of 6
Substitution reaction
a reaction where, atoms or parts of a molecule, are swapped with atoms or molecules from another molecule.
5 of 6
Elimination reaction
a reaction where a small molecule is removed from a larger molecule leaving an unsaturated molecule.
