Chapter 2, Problem 59P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Lewis acid-base process of bromoethane with ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ ion needs to be explained and the product needs to be shown by using curved arrows to show the electron pair movement.

Concept Introduction:

In general, an acid can be defined as the substance which can give ions whereas a base can be defined as the molecule which can give ions. This theory of acid and base is also called an Arrhenius theory of acid and base.

Another concept for acid and base compounds is called Lewis acid-base theory. According to this, an acidic compound is an electron-deficient compound that can accept electron whereas a basic compound must be with extra electrons in the form of lone pairs or negative charge that can be given to Lewis acid to form the salt.
