**Question 5:** Explain why the nitrogen on the molecule on the left below is more reactive as a nucleophile than the other molecule's nitrogen atom.**Molecular Structures:**The diagram shows two molecular structures for comparison:1. **Left Molecule:** - Structure: A carbon double-bonded to an oxygen (carbonyl group) and single-bonded to a nitrogen with a negative charge.2. **Right Molecule:** - Structure: A nitrogen with a negative charge, connected to two hydrogen atoms and an ethyl group.**Explanation:**The nitrogen in the molecule on the left is more reactive as a nucleophile because the presence of the carbonyl group (C=O) withdraws electron density through resonance and inductive effects. This stabilization of the negative charge on the nitrogen by resonance makes it a stronger nucleophile, as the nitrogen is more likely to donate its lone pair of electrons to an electrophile. In contrast, the nitrogen in the right molecule lacks such stabilizing interactions, making it less nucleophilic.

True/False : Two separate questions shown in picture.
we will discuss whether a methoxy group is electron donating or electron withdrawing. We will see that there is a competition between two factors. The methoxy group might be considered electron-withdrawing because of induction, or it might be considered electron-donating because of resonance. Below are the resonance structures of compound 1. Draw the missing curved arrow(s) to convert the each resonance structure into the next one...
