Nucleophilic addition - Definition and Overview

Nucleophilic addition involves the addition of a nucleophile to a chemical compound. Think of this as a negatively charged atom "desiring" a positive charge, and therefore, creating a bond to it. (A golden rule of chemistry: nature hates charges! Eliminating charges and creating a non-charged compound is often the driving force behind reactions...!)

Types
