In order for relatively stable organic molecules to react at a reasonable rate, they often must be modified with the use of highly reactive materials or in the presence of a catalyst. In this lesson, you will learn about several general categories of organic reactions.

Polymers have important properties in materials science. Teflon, for example, is a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene and is used to coat frying pans and make them non-stick. Polymerization can occur using acid as a catalyst, or it can occur with a peroxide as a catalyst: Acid-catalyzed: Peroxide-catalyzed:
