(a) Interpretation: To draw the structure of the transition state in the given SN2 reactions. Concept introduction: SN2 reaction is a special type of reaction mechanism in organic chemistry. It is kind of nucleophilic substitution reaction. Nucleophilic substitutions are Lewis acid-base reactions. In this reaction the nucleophile donates its electron pair, the alkyl halide (Lewis acid) accepts it, and the C-X bond is heterolytically cleaved.

Definition Definition Organic compounds in which one or more hydrogen atom in an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine). These are also known as haloalkanes.
