(b)
Interpretation:
The curved arrow-mechanisms and transition structure for the given single step reaction is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The transition state is formed during the conversion of reactants into products in the chemical reaction. In an energy level diagram, it corresponds to the high potential energy along the y-axis. In this state, the dashed bond implies that bonds are partially broken and partially formed in the reaction.
