**Using Curved Arrows to Illustrate Electron Flow**

Curved arrows are used to illustrate the flow of electrons. Follow the curved arrows and draw the products of the following reaction. Include all lone pairs and charges as appropriate. Ignore inorganic byproducts.

### Reaction Diagram

- The diagram shows a molecule undergoing a reaction where a hydroxide ion (HO⁻) is involved.
- The structure includes a central carbon atom bonded to a bromine atom (Br), two methyl groups (CH₃), a hydrogen atom (H), and hydroxide ion (HO⁻).
- Curved arrows indicate the movement of electrons:
  - One arrow shows electrons from the hydroxide ion approaching the hydrogen attached to the central carbon.
  - Another arrow shows electrons moving from the bond between the carbon and bromine towards the carbon, indicating the breaking of this bond.

Below the diagram, there is a space designated for drawing the resulting product of the reaction based on the electron movements indicated by the curved arrows. This involves the formation of a new bond and the departure of bromine as a leaving group.
