Condensation involve which of the following reactions?
Correct answer: A. Elimination+ addition
- A. Elimination+ addition
- B. Elimination+ Substitution
- C. Addition + substitution
- D. None of these
Explanation
Condensation involves elimination and addition. It is a reaction in which a water molecule is produced as a by-product. condensation reaction, any of a class of reactions in which two molecules combine, usually in the presence of a catalyst, with elimination of water or some other simple molecule.

About Nucleophilic Addition Reactions
Nucleophilic addition occurs at the polar carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones, where a nucleophile attacks the electron-deficient carbon atom. Reactions with hydrogen cyanide, sodium bisulfite, alcohols and Grignard reagents are explained through tetrahedral intermediates, acid or base catalysis, and the different reactivity of aldehydes and ketones.
