Chapter 3, Problem 27EQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bond making and breaking in the given species is to be represented.

Concept Introduction:

Molecules also show a simultaneous bond making and breaking. This can be illustrated nicely in the familiar SN2 reaction. A negatively charged nucleophile approaches a carbon atom having a leaving group in a direction anti to the leaving group. The pushable electrons are possessed by the nucleophile and the receptor is the carbon atom. The products are a compound having a C-Nu bond and the anion of the leaving group. Thus, Nu has been substituted for L.
