Chapter 7.11, Problem 19P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The energy diagram for the given ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction and the structure of transition state is to be drawn. The axes, starting material and product are to be labeled.

Concept introduction: The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction. The graphical representation of chemical reaction in which x-axis represents energy of the reaction and y-axis represents the reaction coordinate is called energy profile diagram.
