(a)
Interpretation: The category of reaction from below substrates should be identified along with the product formed in the reaction and appropriate curved arrows should be used to show electron movement.
Concept introduction: The fundamental electrostatics suggests that electrons have more affinity for electron-deficient sites in an organic compound or positive charge. The curved arrow is appropriate mechanism to depict electron movement that occurs from electron rich species to electron-deficient species.
(b)
Interpretation: The wrong thing about below arrow diagrams should be indicated.
Concept introduction: The fundamental electrostatics suggests that electrons have more affinity for electron deficient sites in an organic compound or positive charge. The curved arrow is appropriate mechanism to depict electron movement that occurs from electron rich species to electron deficient species.

- The German chemist Wilhelm Kӧrner (1839-1925) observed in 1974 that each of the three isomers of dibromobenzene, A, B, and C, gave a different number of tribromobenzenes upon further bromination, allowing him to assign their respective structures. Try to do the same and assign structures to A, B, and C based on the following results: A gives two tribromobenzenes in comparable amounts B gives three tribromobenzenes, one of them in minor quantities C gives only one tribromobenzenearrow_forwardAn unknown hydrocarbon A with the formula C6H12 reacts with 1 molar equivalent of H2 over a palladium catalyst to give hydrocarbon B.
