Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The movement of electrons has to be drawn for the given reaction using curved arrows.
Concept Introduction:
Curved arrows: A curved arrow points from the electron donor to the electron acceptor. Also used to indicate the bond broken and bond forming. In an Acid-base reaction, one of the arrows is drawn from a lone pair on the base (high electron density) to the proton of the acid.
