C_2H_2+2H_2\rightarrow C_2H_6

Addition reaction is defined as the reaction in which two reactants get added to give single product.


A+B\rightarrow AB

Substitution reaction is defined as the reaction in which one atom replaces the other atom from the compound.


CH_4+Cl_2\rightarrow CH_3Cl+HCl

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously. Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons.Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons.
