reaktionsklasser
Reaktionsklasser, also known as reaction classes, are a system used in chemistry to categorize chemical reactions based on the types of bonds broken and formed. This classification helps in understanding the mechanisms and predicting the outcomes of reactions. The system is particularly useful in organic chemistry, where reactions often involve complex molecules.
The most common reaktionsklasser are:
1. Substitution reactions: These involve the replacement of one atom or group with another. Examples include
2. Elimination reactions: In these reactions, two substituents are removed from a molecule, often forming a
3. Addition reactions: These involve the addition of atoms or groups to a molecule, often across a
4. Rearrangement reactions: These involve the rearrangement of atoms within a molecule to form a new structure.
5. Oxidation-reduction reactions: These involve the transfer of electrons between molecules. Examples include combustion and corrosion.
Each reaktionsklasse has its own set of characteristics and mechanisms, and understanding these can help in
