=**Introduction**= An addition reaction is one in which two parts of a molecule are added to an unsaturated molecule, increasing the saturation of a molecule. Addition reactions are limited to chemical compounds that have multiple bonds, such as molecules with carbon-carbon [|double bonds], or with [|triple bonds]. Molecules that have [|carbonyl] groups, or [|imine]groups, can undergo addition because they have double bond characters. Addition reactions are opposites of [|elimination reaction]. A common type of addition reaction is hydrogenation. In [|hydrogenation], hydrogen atoms are added to an unsaturated molecule.
