(a)
Interpretation:
For each step of the given unimolecular nucleophilic substitution
Concept introduction:
An atom with partial or full negative charge is called an electron-rich site whereas an atom with partial or full positive charge is called an electron-poor site. An electron-rich atom has a lone pair of electrons whereas an electron-poor atom lacks an octet. In an elementary step, electrons tend to flow from an electron-rich site to an electron-poor site.
(b)
Interpretation:
Appropriate curved arrows are to be drawn to show the bond formation and bond breaking that occur in each step of the given unimolecular nucleophilic substitution
Concept introduction:
In an elementary step, electrons tend to flow from an electron-rich site to an electron-poor site. One curved arrow is drawn from the lone pair of an electron-rich atom to the H attached to the electron-poor site to show the formation of a bond. A second curved arrow is drawn starting from the middle of the broken bond to the atom on which the lone pair ends up, to indicate the breaking of the bond.
(c)
Interpretation:
Each step of the given unimolecular nucleophilic substitution
Concept introduction:
An elementary step in which a proton is transferred from an electron-poor site to an electron-rich site and one bond is broken and another is formed simultaneously is called the proton transfer step. An elementary step in which only single bond is broken and both electrons from that bond end up on one of the atoms initially involved in the bond is called the heterolysis step. An elementary step in which a single covalent bond is formed between the electron-rich site and the electron-poor site is called the coordination step.

- There are three potential termination steps in this mechanism. Confused on how to write two of them, using fishhook arrows to show how the electrons move. And how to have a valid termination step involves the combination of any two radicals involved in the propagation part of the reaction mechanism.arrow_forwardYour answer is incorrect. Predict the relative rates of these reactions. That is, select 1 next to the reaction with the fastest rate, 2 next to the reaction with the next fastest rate, and so on. Note for advanced students: you may assume these reactions all take place in a polar aprotic solvent, like DMSO. Incorrect Your answer is incorrect. Predict the relative rates of these reactions. That is, select I next to the reaction with the fastest rate, 2 next to the reaction with the next fastest rate, and so on.

The carbocation (R*) that appears in the reaction mecha- nism (Equation 8-2) is the only intermediate. In the S1 mechanism shown here, (a) identify each species as an overall reactant, overall product, or intermediate, then (b) sum the steps to yield the overall reaction. :Br: + Br: 11 :I: + One reason to distinguish intermediates from overall reactants and products is to know which species in the mechanism can be isolated.

A lone pair of electrons from the cyanide attacks the carbon bonded to bromine, forming a new carbon-carbon bond. At the same time, the carbon-bromine bond breaks with the electron pair from the carbon-bromine bond moving toward the bromine to form a bromide ion. This will form the product 2,4-dimethylpentanenitrile and sodium bromide.arrow_forward
