**Organic Chemistry Reactions: Substitution and Elimination**

**Reaction Schemes:**

- **Reaction A**:  
  - Reactants: Cyclohexyl bromide
  - Reagent: CH₃OH, heat
  - Product: Cyclohexene

- **Reaction B**:  
  - Reactants: Cycloheptyl bromide
  - Reagent: CH₃OH, heat
  - Product: Cycloheptene

**Energy Diagrams:**

- **Diagram I**: Shows one peak, representing a single transition state with no intermediates.

- **Diagram II**: Shows multiple peaks with valleys between them, indicating two transition states and one intermediate.

- **Diagram III**: Shows a similar pattern to Diagram II with two peaks and one intermediate.

- **Diagram IV**: Shows one peak, similar to Diagram I, indicating a single transition state end-to-end process.

**Questions for Analysis:**

**For Reaction A:**

1. **Mechanism Assignment**: Select whether it is SN1, SN2, E1, or E2.
2. **Intermediates**: Determine the number of sets of intermediates.
3. **Transition States**: Determine the number of transition states.
4. **Energy Diagram**: Choose the correct energy diagram.

**For Reaction B:**

5. **Mechanism Assignment**: Select whether it is SN1, SN2, E1, or E2.
6. **Intermediates**: Determine the number of sets of intermediates.
7. **Transition States**: Determine the number of transition states.
8. **Energy Diagram**: Choose the correct energy diagram.

This educational exercise allows students to analyze reaction mechanisms, identify intermediates and transition states, and match reactions with their corresponding energy diagrams.
