Interpretation:
Mechanism of the reaction that takes place when amide ion is mixed with the given compound has to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Mechanism is the representation of telling how the reaction proceeds and which bond gets broken and which bond is formed. For writing mechanisms, curved arrows are used. These arrows are the same used for representing resonance structures. While showing mechanisms, we are allowed to break single bonds also. This is not allowed while drawing resonance structures. The octet rule should never be violated. This means that the second row elements cannot have more than four bonds.
For representation of mechanism involved in acid-base reaction, there are always two arrows. One is from the base which attacks the proton and the second is from the bond that connects the proton to the atom where it is going. All arrows have a tail and head.
