a)
Interpretation:
Whether CH3Cl is likely to behave as a nucleophile or electrophile or both to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A nucleophile (either negatively charged or a neutral molecule containing an atom with at least one lone pair of electrons) has an electron rich-site. An electrophile (either positively charged or a neutral molecule containing an electron deficient atom) has an electron poor-site.
To state:
Whether CH3Cl will behave as nucleophile or electrophile or both.

- Only one of these statements about nucleophilic aromatic substitution is true. O as the number of ortho and para electron withdrawing groups increases, the reaction rate decreases O the reaction proceeds by an addition-elimination mechanism the reaction involves a carbocation intermediate with delocalization of electrons all are falsearrow_forward1 mol NH3 + 1 mol C2H5Cl when heated there is a lot of unreactd NH3 (about 80%). Why does this occur? How do nucleophiles and electrophiles play a role in this?arrow_forwardI need to know the products of this reaction and the mechanism of the reaction with arrows because I cannot understand the electron movement. Also which is the nucleophile and which is the electrophile?arrow_forward
- For the given molecule, highlight any nucleophilic sites in red and any electrophilic sites in blue. O: 439 0-Harrow_forward9. Upon hydrogenation, which of the following alkenes releases the least heat per mole?arrow_forwardA benzene ring alters the reactivity of a neighboring group in the so-called “benzylic” position, similarly to how a double bond alters the reactivity of groups in the “allylic” position. Benzylic cations, anions, and radicals are all more stable than simple alkyl intermediates. a) Use resonance structures to show the delocalization of the positive charge, negative charge, and unpaired electron of the benzyl cation, anion, and radical.arrow_forward
