help? **Which of these would be the best electrophile for an SN1 reaction?**A) CH3Br B) (CH3)3CBr C) (CH3)3CO− D) CH3O− *Explanation:* In an SN1 reaction, the best electrophile is one that can form a stable carbocation. Typically, tertiary carbocations are more stable than secondary or primary ones due to hyperconjugation and inductive effects. - **Option A (CH3Br)**: Methyl bromide forms an unstable methyl cation.- **Option B ((CH3)3CBr)**: Tertiary butyl bromide forms a stable tertiary carbocation.- **Option C ((CH3)3CO−)**: Presents as a negative ion, not suitable as an electrophile.- **Option D (CH3O−)**: Also a negative ion, unsuitable as an electrophile.Thus, the best choice for an SN1 reaction is **Option B** - (CH3)3CBr.
