adiciones

Adiciones is the plural form of adición, a term used in several fields to denote the act or result of adding something. The exact meaning depends on the context.

In mathematics, adición refers to the operation of addition, combining numbers or quantities to obtain a sum. In elementary arithmetic, addition is commutative and associative, has zero as the additive identity, and follows the standard rules of carrying in multi-digit addition. In higher mathematics, addition is defined in various numerical systems, such as integers, rationals, real numbers, complexes, and within algebraic structures like abelian groups, where the operation is closed, associative, and has an identity element.

In chemistry, adición describes a reaction where atoms or molecules add to a multiple bond or unsaturated compound, forming a single new molecule. Common examples include electrophilic addition to alkenes and hydrohalogenation. These reactions typically proceed via the formation of carbocation or concerted mechanisms, and may be influenced by catalysts, solvents, and temperature. Additions can be regioselective or stereoselective, yielding different isomers.

In law and contracts, adiciones can refer to additions or amendments to contracts, wills, or documents, often formalized as addenda or clauses added after the original agreement.

In other contexts, the term appears in textbooks, catalogs, and digital content to indicate additional items, features, or components appended to a set or collection.

The term is widely used in Spanish-language technical literature to denote additions across disciplines.
