Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given reaction is to be completed by unshared electron pairs and formal charges, and the curved arrows are to be represented in the reaction.
Concept introduction:
Whena lone pair of electrons is not considered to participate in the covalent bond, it is known as an unshared pair of electrons.
All those compounds that have a tendency of attracting electron rich center are known as electrophiles. It is considered a positivelycharged or neutral species. Lewis acid isan electrophile.
A coordinate covalent bond is the one in which both the electrons shared in a covalent bond come from the same atom, called as a donor atom such that one of the shared pair of electrons now occupies an empty orbital of the acceptor atom.
Movement of the electron is shown by curved arrows in the compound.
