Question

What are non-ionic reactions? Which chemical compounds show such reactions and
why?

Answer 1

Answer:

With few exceptions, the multitude of reactions discussed in this and other introductory texts are classified as ionic reactions. By this we mean that nucleophilic and electrophilic sites in reacting molecules bond to each other. Furthermore, charged species such as carbocations, carbanions, conjugate acids and conjugate bases are often intermediates on the reaction path, the overall transformation taking place in two or more discrete steps. Ionic reactions normally occur in solution, and changes in solvents may have dramatic consequences
