Describe the additon reaction of carbon compounds with its application

1.	Describe the additon reaction of carbon compounds with its application. State the functionof catalyst in this reaction. How this reaction is different from a substitution reaction?
Answer» Solution :When any molecule like `H_(2)` adds to unsaturated hydrocarbon because of double and TRIPLE bond, it is known as addition reaction. `CH_(2) = CH_(2) + H_(2)overset(Ni)rightarrowC_(2)H_(6)` USE- Hydrogenation of vegetable oils. Catalyst - Increase the rate of reaction. SUBSTITUTION reaction `CH_(4)+CI_(2)rightarrowCH_(3)CI + HCI`. In this one atom is replaced by another, two PRODUCTS only one product i addition reaction.
