What is another word for addition reaction?
Pronunciation: [ɐdˈɪʃən ɹɪˈakʃən] (IPA) 
Addition reaction is a chemical reaction where two or more molecules combine and form a new product, resulting in the addition of one or more chemical groups. This process is also called 'additive reaction' or 'additive process.' Another synonymous term for addition reaction is 'adduct formation,' where a molecule or ion is added to a double or triple bond of another molecule. Moreover, it is known as 'polymerization' when small molecules combine to form a large molecule. Finally, these reactions' reverse process is called 'elimination reaction,' where a molecule is lost from the reaction mixture to create a new product. These synonyms for the term addition reaction clarify the different types of chemical reactions that involve addition of molecules.
