Elimination Reaction

Real World Example

Imagine trying to declutter your home by removing items you no longer need, such as an old chair or a broken lamp. This is similar to an elimination reaction in organic chemistry, where a molecule gets rid of a pair of atoms, like hydrogen and a halogen, to create more space or a different structure. Just as removing clutter can free up a room and change its appearance, the elimination reaction removes atoms to form a double bond, transforming the molecule's structure and properties.
