Solution and Explanation
An addition reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more reactants combine to form a single product. It typically occurs in unsaturated hydrocarbons such as alkenes and alkynes.
Example: \[ \text{CH}_2 = \text{CH}_2 + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_3 \]
Example: \[ \text{CH}_2 = \text{CH}_2 + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}_3 \]
