Chapter 6, Problem 36P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For each reaction mentioned in the question, the nucleophile, its nucleophilic atom and the electrophilic atom in the substrate and the leaving group should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Nucleophiles are chemical species which are rich in electrons, hence capable of donating electron pair to form a chemical bond. nucleophilic atom is the electron rich atom in the molecule or ion.

Electrophile is an electron pair acceptor. Electrophiles may be positively charged or neutral species. Most of the time electron-deficient atom is the electrophilic atom.

Leaving group is a molecular fragment that departs with a pair of electrons cleaving a bond.
