Elimination reactions – dehydrating an alcohol

If we dehydrate an alcohol, we are essentially removing a water molecule and the product will be an alkene. The

The reaction of an alkene with water to from an alcohol is an example of a hydration reaction. The alkene

The mechanism for addition polymerisation is another example of a radical reaction. Teflon (PTFE), famously known for its non-stick properties,

Polymers are long chain molecules made via addition polymerisation or condensation polymerisation – the result are all the plastics, fibres
