Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
For the given set of species the available
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.
Leaving group: it is a fragment that leaves substrate with a pair of electrons via heterolytic bond cleavage.
Cation: The positively charged chemical species is referred as cation.
(b)
Interpretation:
From the given carbocation the most stable one has to be identified.
