Hydrogenation
|
The process by which the double or triple bonds in an Alkene or Alkyne are broken and changed to single bonds by adding hydrogen to the organic compound; usually catalyzed by platinum.
|
|
Halogenation
|
Similar to hydrogenation, where halogens such as Cl2 and Br2 are used instead of H2; usually more vigorous and don't need a catalyst.
|
|
Hydrohalogenation
|
Process by which compounds such as HCl or HBr add one hydrogen and one halogen atom to a double bond.
|
|
Saturated
|
