**QUESTION 2** **Which statement is true about the following reaction? (Lone pair electrons have been omitted.)** The diagram shows a chemical reaction where a cyclic six-membered carbon ring with an iodine (I) substituent reacts with a cyanide ion (C≡N⁻), resulting in the substitution of the iodine atom with the cyanide group, forming a six-membered ring with a nitrile group. **Options:** - ○ "CN is a leaving group." - ○ A curved reaction arrow would start from the C in "CN." - ○ A curved reaction arrow would start from the I. - ○ "I⁻ is the nucleophile."
