Addukti

Addukti is a term used in chemistry to describe a molecule formed by the addition of two or more separate molecules. This reaction, known as an addition reaction, typically occurs across a double or triple bond in an unsaturated compound. The atoms of the added molecule become part of the larger structure without the elimination of any atoms. For example, in the addition of hydrogen to ethene (C2H4) to form ethane (C2H6), the two hydrogen atoms from the H2 molecule are added across the double bond of ethene.

Addition reactions are common in organic chemistry and are a fundamental way to synthesize new compounds. They can involve a variety of reagents, including halogens, hydrogen halides, water, and other unsaturated molecules. The type of addukti formed depends on the specific reactants and reaction conditions. The reverse of an addition reaction is an elimination reaction, where atoms are removed from a molecule to form a double or triple bond. Addukti are distinct from condensation products, which are formed by the reaction of two molecules with the loss of a small molecule like water or ammonia.
