What type of reaction is involved in the formation of alkanols from alkenes?
- Elimination reaction
- Redox reaction
- Substitution reaction
-
Addition reaction
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
Alkanols can be formed from alkenes through an addition reaction. In this reaction, the carbon-carbon double bond of the alkene is broken, and a hydroxyl group (-OH) is added to one of the carbon atoms, resulting in the formation of an alcohol.
