Chapter 3, Problem 1PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The curved arrows are to be added to the given reactions, which indicate the flow of electrons for all the bond-forming and bond-breaking steps.

Concept introduction:

Curved arrows are used to represent the direction of the flow of electrons in a reaction mechanism.

Curved arrows are drawn in such a way that they point from the source of an electron pair toward the atom, which receives the electron pair.

The direction of flow of electrons is always from a high electron density site to a low electron density site.

Curved arrows never represent the movement of atoms.

The movement of electrons shown by the curved arrows should not violate the octet rule for the elements, which are present in the second row of the periodic table.

Electrophiles are positive or partially positive species that attract electrons or negatively charged species toward itself.
