Let's learn how to classify organic reactions: The main types are: Addition reaction Substitution reaction Elimination reaction Oxidation reaction Isomerization reaction Polymerization reaction Homolytic cleavage As the name suggests, the rupture is done equally, which results in the formation of free radicals. Heterolytic cleavage In this case, the final products of the reaction are ions with a positive charge (cations) or negative charge (anions). The unequal breaking of the molecule causes the electron pair to remain with only one of the atoms in the bond.
