Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The better nucleophile in a protic solvent needs to be determined between chloride ion or bromide ion.
Concept Introduction:
Anucleophile is areactant whichgivesapair of electrons to produceanew covalent bond. An electrophile is areactant whichaccepts apair of electrons to produceanew covalent bond.

Which is the better nucleophile in a protic solvent, chloride ion or bromide ion? Try to explain this in terms of the nature of the chloride ion and the bromide ion.
Good nucleophiles that are weak bases favor substitution overelimination. Explain this ?
How does the negative inductive effect (−I) of chlorine in the ortho position of the phenol, reduce the negative charge, located on the oxygen of the phenolate anion? Is this why the Oxygen in the phenolate ion will act as a worse nucleophile if the Chlorine is in the ortho position vs the para position?
