Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Spanish term or phrase: fracciones de adición
Se trata de un programa de estudios de la materia Química orgánica. Cuando detalla los temas dice lo siguiente:
Fracciones de adición. Fracciones de adición electrofílica. Electrofilicidad. Mechanismo. Es correcto si traduzco el térimno "fracciones de adición" como addition fractions? o simplemente additions?. Lamentablemente, no puedo brindarles más contexto. Muchas gracias.

addition products
Explanation:
In this case it's electrophilic addition products. This is a particular type of reaction where the incoming reactant is attracted to the pi bpond of a double bond. The pi bond is broken, and the molecule (e.g. HBR) is added.

It could also mean (but I doubt it) branching ratios of addition reactions, which is a reference to the fact that more than one product
may be obtained in certain cases, either due to rearrangements or other factors coming into play. I believe, though, that it is simply referring to the different addition products (in your context).

An example would be CH2=CH-CH3 + HCl > CH3=CHCl-CH3. We notice that the hydrogen goes where there are more hydrogens to begin with, while the chlorine goes to the other end of the original pi bond. This is Markovnikow's Law.
