Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Nucleophiles and electrophiles should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Electrophile (negative-charge loving): A molecule or ion that accepts a pair of electrons to make a new covalent bond is called an electrophile.
Electrophiles are neutral or positively charged species, having vacant orbitals and attracted electron towards itself.
Nucleophiles (positive-charge loving): A nucleophile is a more reactant species that affords a pair of electrons to the electrophile or electrophilic center and forms a new covalent bond.
The carbon or other hetero atom in a molecule which is bearing negative charge or lone pair of electron is called as nucleophiles.

Nucleophiles and electrophiles should be identified.

- How will I determine if a neutral compound is an eletrophile or a nucleophilearrow_forwardAn electron-deficient carbon atom reacts with a nucleophile, symbolized as: Nu−. Define this ?arrow_forwardOa) An amine can be formed when 2-iodopentane is heated with ammonia in a sealed tube. This is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction. i) Provide a full equation (using condensed formula) for this reaction. You should name the reactants and the overall products as part of your response. ii) Name the organic product formed from this reaction and draw it's displayed structure. iii) Provide a 'curly arrow' mechanism (in displayed formula) with an accompanying explanation for this process. iv) Describe a characteristic test (with the result that would be observed) to show the presence of the amine produced upon completion of the nucleophilic substitution reaction. b) The amine produced in the above reaction forms a mixture of two optical isomers. i) Draw the 3D structures of the two isomers of the amine product that you named and produced a drawing of in part a ii). ii) With reference to a different named example, explain the term 'optical isomer'. You should draw the 3D…arrow_forward
