Detailed Solution

The reaction RCHO + NH2​NH2 ​→ RCH=N−NH2​ is a nucleophilic addition-elimination
reaction. First, a molecule of hydrazine is added to the carbonyl group. This is a nucleophilic addition reaction.
RCHO + NH2​NH2 ​→ RCH(OH)−NH−NH2
Then, a molecule of water is eliminated. This is an elimination reaction.
RCH(OH)−NH−NH2 ​→ RCH=N−NH2 ​+ H2​O
