For alkenes and alkyns, the most charaotedstic reaction is the addition of atoms or groups of atoms to the carbon atoms of the double or triple bond. The additions occur because double bonds r tiple bonds are easily broken, which provides electrons for new single bonds. There are several types of addition reactions, defined by the type of reactant added:
