Why does the leaving group rarely act as a base in SN1 reactions? The ABC step is exothermic and highly favorable. O The intermediates do not need to be deprotonated during the reaction beacuse they are all stable. Good leaving groups are strong acid derivatives and weak bases. O It is too strong of a base to exist in solution.

Is my answer correct for this homework question?
A chlorine (CI) atom is adsorbed on a small patch of surface (see sketch at right). This patch is known to contain 16 possible adsorption sites. The Cl atom has enough energy to move from site to site, so it could be on any one of them. Suppose a Br atom also becomes adsorbed onto the surface. Calculate the change in entropy. One way a Cl atom might be adsorbed on a Round your answer to 2 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol. surface with 16 sites. olo
