An elimination reaction is a type of organic reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule in either a one or two-step mechanism. Either the unsaturation of the molecule increases (as in most organic elimination reactions) or the valence of an atom in the molecule decreases by two, a process known as reductive elimination. An important class of elimination reactions are those involving alkyl halides, or alkanes in general, with good leaving groups, reacting with a Lewis base to form an alkene in the reverse of an addition reaction.

And reluctantly they keep moving in the same line because either now they fear switching and making a new start or they love Newtons' first law of motion very much!!I share here, the four kinds of orientation one may

Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up. _______________________________________________________________________ Lesson Number Two ***************** A turkey was chatting with a bull.
