Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The order of decreasing nucleophilicity in a protic solvent of the given compounds is to be ranked.
Concept introduction:
Nucleophilicity is a measure of 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.
Nucleophilicity increases down the group in the periodic table.
Protic solvents are the solvents that form hydrogen bonds. They contain a hydrogen atom, which is bonded to an electronegative atom such as oxygen or nitrogen.
