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.
b)
Interpretation:
Whether CH3S- 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 CH3S- will behave as nucleophile or electrophile or both.
