National 5 Homologous series Addition reactions The alkanes, alkenes and cycloalkanes are examples of homologous series. A homologous series is a group of chemicals which have similar chemical ...

Organometallic Compound Reactions 1. Nucleophilic Addition Reactions Organometallic compounds such as Grignard reagents (RMgX) and organolithium reagents (RLi) are strong nucleophiles that can add ...

The C=C double bond in ethene is involved in the polymerisation reaction. It allows ethene molecules to join, so it is an example of an addition reaction>. Poly (ethene) is an addition polymer.

A team of Penn State researchers has found that a fundamental reaction in transition metal chemistry, called oxidative addition, can follow a different path to achieve the same ends.
