Chapter 6.4, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 6.4, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

Whether CH3Cl is likely to behave as a nucleophile or electrophile or both to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A nucleophile (either negatively charged or a neutral molecule containing an atom with at least one lone pair of electrons) has an electron rich-site. An electrophile (either positively charged or a neutral molecule containing an electron deficient atom) has an electron poor-site.

To state:

Whether CH3Cl will behave as nucleophile or electrophile or both.
