(a)
Interpretation:
Type of the reaction (electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition, electrophilic substitution
or acid-base) and curved arrow pattern for the electron flow should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Electrophile (negative-charge loving): A molecule or ion that accepts a pair of electrons to make a new covalent bond is called an electrophile.
Substitution reaction: During a
Electrophilic substitution reactions: an electrophile replaces a functional group in a compound, which is typically, but not always, a hydrogen atom.
Electrophilic
Nucleophilic Substitution reaction: electron rich nucleophile attacks the positive or partially positive charge of an atom and replace a leaving group is called Nucleophilic Substitution reaction.
According to the Brønsted-Lowry concept: An acid is donating the proton. A base is accepting the proton in reaction.
(b)

Concept introduction:
Electrophile (negative-charge loving): A molecule or ion that accepts a pair of electrons to make a new covalent bond is called an electrophile.
Substitution reaction: During a chemical reaction when one functional group is transformed as another functional group in a chemical compound is called substitution reaction.
Electrophilic substitution reactions: an electrophile replaces a functional group in a compound, which is typically, but not always, a hydrogen atom.
Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are introducing functional groups onto benzene rings. The other main type of electrophilic substitution reaction is an electrophilic aliphatic substitution reaction.
Nucleophilic Substitution reaction: electron rich nucleophile attacks the positive or partially positive charge of an atom and replace a leaving group is called Nucleophilic Substitution reaction.
According to the Brønsted-Lowry concept: An acid is donating the proton. A base is accepting the proton in reaction.
