(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for given reaction has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Nucleophile: donates pair of electrons to positively charged substrate resulting in the formation of
Electrophile: It is positively charged species which seeks for negative charge and hence accepts pair of electrons from negatively charged species (Nucleophiles) which results in the formation of chemical bond.
Proton-Transfer: It is a type of
Carbocation: it is carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.

Electrophile: It is positively charged species which seeks for negative charge and hence accepts pair of electrons from negatively charged species (Nucleophiles) which results in the formation of chemical bond.
Proton-Transfer: It is a type of chemical reaction in which the protons gets transferred from the acid to the base. It is used to remove the positive charge present in the substrate due to neutral nucleophile in substitution reaction.
Carbocation: it is carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
