Question

What is Reactions in which Number of Carbon Atoms Increases?

Answer

Reactions in which the number of carbon atoms increases are called carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. These reactions involve the joining of two or more carbon atoms to form longer chains or more complex structures. Some examples of carbon-carbon bond forming reactions include: (i) Wurtz reaction (ii) Frankland reaction (iii) Corey house synthesis (iv) Kolbe's electrolytic method.
