Interpretation:
The IHD of the given compounds is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
▸ Electrophiles are electron deficient species which has positive or partially positive charge. Lewis acids are electrophiles which accept electron pair.
▸ Nucleophiles are electron rich species which has negative or partially negative charge. Lewis bases are nucleophiles which donate electron pair.
▸ Free radical is an atom, molecule or ion that has unpaired electrons which makes it highly chemically reactive.
▸ Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one of the hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon or a
▸ Elimination reaction: A reaction in which two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed is called elimination reaction.
▸ Addition reaction: It is the reaction in which unsaturated bonds are converted to saturated molecules by the addition of molecules.
▸ The reaction in which hydrogen is added to the compound in the presence of catalyst is known as hydrogenation.
▸ The number of moles of hydrogen absorbed will be equal to the number of double bonds.
▸ Hydrogenation of
▸ The change in number of pairs of hydrogen atoms of a given compound and the acyclic compound which has the number of carbon atoms same as the number of carbon atoms in the given compound, is known as the Index of hydrogen deficiency.
▸ The Index of hydrogen deficiency can be denoted by IHD.
▸ The Index of hydrogen deficiency can be calculated by using the following formula:
Here C represents number of carbon atoms, H represents number of hydrogen atoms, N represents number of nitrogen atoms, and X represents number of halogen atoms.

- A pdf file of your hand drawn, stepwise mechanisms for the reactions. For each reaction in the assignment, you must write each mechanism three times (there are 10 reactions, so 30 mechanisms). (A) do the work on a tablet and save as a pdf., it is expected to write each mechanism out and NOT copy and paste the mechanism after writing it just once. Everything should be drawn out stepwise and every bond that is formed and broken in the process of the reaction, and is expected to see all relevant lone pair electrons and curved arrows.
