Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The decreasing order of nucleophilicity of the given compound is to be ranked.

Concept introduction:

Nucleophilicity is the phenomena of measuring the ability of any nucleophile to react with an electron deficient species.

Nucleophiles are Lewis bases, mean electron rich and have the ability to donate electron pairs.

The order of nucleophilicity can be decided on the basis of charge.

A negatively charged nucleophile is more reactive than its conjugate acid.

In the given nucleophiles, the negatively charged nucleophiles are more reactive than the neutral one.

The nucleophile attached with electron withdrawing group has less nucleophilicity because electron withdrawing attracts electron density toward itself.
