Chapter 6, Problem 29P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given chemical reaction the electrophile and the nucleophile should be determined and the curved arrows that denote the bond making and breaking should be indicated.

Concept introduction:

Nucleophile: Nucleophiles are electron rich compounds which donates electrons to electrophilic compounds which results in bond formation.

Nucleophilic nature depends on the negative charge present in the molecule, the solvent in which it present and the electronegativity of the atom.

Electrophile: Electrophiles are electron deficient compounds which accepts electrons from nucleophiles that results in bond formation.

Chemical reaction involves bond making and breaking of two or more reactants in order to attain products from the reactants.

Curved arrows show the bonds that are formed and the bonds that are broken in a reaction.

Curved arrows used to understand a reaction mechanism.

Curved arrows are drawn to show how the electrons move as new covalent bonds are formed existing covalent bonds are broken.

Analyzing the given reaction it shows that Cl serves as nucleophile since it contains lone pair of electrons around with one negative charge generally seeks for positive charge.

The reactant CH3+CHCH3 behave as electrophile since it contains positive charge which is naturally electron loving.

Therefore, the curved arrows indication the bond making and the breaking in order to obtain the given product is as follows,

Analyzing the given reaction it shows that HBr serves as electrophile since it contains protons generally seeks for negative charge.

The reactant CH3CH=CH2 behaves as nucleophile since it contains one double bond which contains one negatively charged carbon since formation of secondary carbo cation is stable.

Therefore, the curved arrows indication the bond making and the breaking in order to obtain the given product is as follows,
