Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Nucleophilic centers in the given compound have to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Nucleophile is the one which are capable of donating a pair of electrons.  The one which is capable of accepting a pair of electrons are known as electrophiles.  The ions which possess a negative charge (lone pair of electrons) over it can act as a good nucleophile.  Some of them are,

The compounds that contain lone pair of electrons also can act as nucleophile.  Even though there is absence of negative charge, the presence of lone pair of electrons can make them to act as a good nucleophile.  Some of the compounds are,

The compounds that contain unsaturated bonds also can act as nucleophile.  This is because the unsaturated bonds are the regions where there is high electron density in space.  Some of the compounds are,

Zeolites: environmental applications.
" is The structure of the bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion, HCO3-, HCO3 best described as a hybrid of several contributing resonance forms, two of which are shown here. HO :0: :Ö: HO + Bicarbonate is crucial for the control of body pH (for example, blood pH: 7.4). A more self-indulgent use is in baking soda, where it serves as a source of CO2 CO₂ 2 gas, which gives bread and pastry their fluffy constituency. (i) Draw at least one additional resonance form. = (ii) Using curved "electron-pushing" arrows, show how these Lewis structures may be interconverted by movement of electron pairs. (iii) Determine which form or forms will be the major contributor(s) to the real structure of bicarbonate, explaining your answer on the basis of the criteria in Section 1-5.
