These are examples of five different reaction types.

(i) ${CH}_{3} {CH}_{3} + {Cl}_{2} \to {CH}_{3} {CH}_{2} Cl + HCl$ $"CH"_3"CH"_3 + "Cl"_2 → "CH"_3"CH"_2"Cl" + "HCl"$

This is a free radical substitution reaction.

(ii) ${CH}_{3} {CH(OH)CH}_{3} \to {CH}_{3} {CH=CH}_{2} + H_{2} O$ $"CH"_3"CH(OH)CH"_3 → "CH"_3"CH=CH"_2 + "H"_2"O"$

This is a dehydration or elimination reaction.

(iii) ${CH}_{3} CHO + HCN \to {CH}_{3} CH(OH)CN$ $"CH"_3"CHO" + "HCN" → "CH"_3"CH(OH)CN"$

This is a nucleophilic addition reaction.

(iv) ${CH}_{3} {CH=CH}_{2} + HBr \to {CH}_{3} {CHBrCH}_{3}$ $"CH"_3"CH=CH"_2 + "HBr" → "CH"_3"CHBrCH"_3$

This is an electrophilic addition reaction.

(v) ${CH}_{3} {CH}_{2} {C(OH)=CH}_{2} ⇌ {CH}_{3} {CH}_{2} {COCH}_{3}$ $"CH"_3"CH"_2"C(OH)=CH"_2 ⇌ "CH"_3"CH"_2"COCH"_3$

This is an example of keto-enol tautomerism.
