What are the structures of these two mechanisms?

### Chemical Reactions Involving Halogen Compounds and Sulfur-Containing Reagents This image illustrates two chemical reactions involving halogenated compounds and sulfur-containing reagents. #### Reaction 1 - **Reactants:** - A compound with two bromine (Br) atoms attached to a carbon chain: Br–(CH₂)₄–Br. - A sulfur-containing compound: NaS–(CH₂)₂–SNa. - **Reaction:** - These reactants undergo a reaction to form a product with the molecular formula: \( C_4H_8S_2 \). #### Reaction 2 - **Reactants:** - A compound with two chlorine (Cl) atoms attached to a carbon chain: Cl–(CH₂)₄–Cl. - Sodium sulfide (Na₂S). - **Reaction:** - These reactants undergo a reaction to form a product with the molecular formula: \( C_4H_8S \). In both reactions, the halogen atoms (Br and Cl) are replaced by sulfur-containing groups, resulting in the formation of new sulfur-rich organic compounds. These reactions are representative of substitution reactions where halogens are substituted by other elements or groups.
