1.	What are elimination reaction? Give an example.
Answer» SOLUTION :In these reactions, TWO atoms or groups are removed from a MOLECULE without being substituted by other atoms or groups.A new `C-C` DOUBLE bond is formed between the carbon atoms to which are eliminated atoms or groups are previously attached.It is ALWAYS accompanied with change in hybridization. Example :`CH_(3) - underset"(Bromopropane)" (CH_(2)-CH_(2)) - CH_(2) - Br overset"(alc.KOH)"to underset "(Propene)"(CH_(3) -CH) = CH_(2) + KBr + H_(2)O`
