Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:Thealternate Lewis structure of nucleophile needs to be determined that can be drawn with second resonance form.
Concept Introduction:Lewis dot structure is also known as Lewis dot formula or electron dot structure. The bond formation between the atoms takes place due to the sharing of valence electrons of bonded atoms while the remaining electrons present in outer shell represented as lone pair of electrons.
An electrophile can be defined as the species (atom or ion or group of atom) that can attract towards electrons due to positive charge or lack of electrons whereas a nucleophile is an electron-rich species with lone pair or negative charge and can attract towards negative charge entity.
(b)
Interpretation:Thesecond nucleophile atom in the given nucleophile needs to be determined that can be drawn with second resonance form.
