Interpretation:
The nucleophile that reacts faster with
Concept introduction:
The nucleophilic substitution reaction
Nucleophiles are the electron-rich species that donate the electron pair to the electron-deficient species in the reaction. The electron-deficient species are known as the electrophiles.
