Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

(a) It is an example of substitution reaction as in this reaction the bromine group in bromo ethane is substituted by the –SH group.

(b) It is an example of addition reaction as in this reaction two reactant molecules combine to form a single product.

(c) It is an example of elimination reaction as in this reaction hydrogen and bromine are removed from bromo ethane to give ethane.

(d) In this reaction, substitution takes place, followed by a rearrangement of atoms and groups of atoms.
