Question

Substitution reaction in hydrocarbon

Answer 1

Answer: Saturated Hydrocarbons often undergo substitution reactions, in which one of the Hydrogens attached to the Carbons gets substituted by another atom (Cl, Br, I, -OH, etc.) (Depends on the reactant and the reaction conditions, where the substitution happens, and which hydrogen is replaced.)

Answer 2

Addition reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more molecules combine with each other to form a single substance. ... Substitution reaction does not add any atom to the hydrocarbon because it takes place only in saturated hydrocarbons(containing only single bonds).
