An addition reaction, in chemistry, is in its simplest terms an organic reaction where two or more molecules combine to form a larger one.
There are two main types of polar addition reactions:
Electrophilic addition
Nucleophilic addition
Other non-polar addition reactions exists as well:
Free radical addition
Addition reactions are limited to chemical compounds that have multiply-bonded atoms:
Molecules with carbon-carbon double bonds or triple bonds
Molecules with carbon - hetero double bonds like C=O or C=N
An addition reaction is the opposite of an elimination reaction. For instance the hydration reaction of an alkene and the dehydration of an alcohol are addition-elimination pairs.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons(i.e. Hydrocarbons containing double or triple bonds) undergo addition reactions in which reagent molecules are added to the compound.

when two reactants( 1 mole each ) after reaction forms only one mole of reactant is called addition reaction.

Alkene + bromine -----> a dibromoalkane
or any reaction in which an akene forms some sort of alkane.
