(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given set of species the available σ bond orbitals for overlap with vacant p orbital has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Nucleophile: Nucleophiles are electron rich compounds which donates electrons to electrophilic compounds which results in bond formation.

Nucleophilic nature depends on the negative charge present in the molecule, the solvent in which it present and the electronegativity of the atom.

Electrophile: Electrophiles are electron deficient compounds which accepts electrons from nucleophiles that results in bond formation.

Leaving group: it is a fragment that leaves substrate with a pair of electrons via heterolytic bond cleavage.

Chemical reaction involves bond making and breaking of two or more reactants in order to attain products from the reactants.

Cation: The positively charged chemical species is referred as cation.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given carbocation the most stable one has to be identified.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
a. How many s bond orbitals are available for overlap with the vacant p orbital in 1. the isobutyl cation? 2. the n-butyl cation? 3. the sec-butyl cation? b. Which of the carbocations in part a is most stable?
Carbocations rearrange with some ease. An example of this is shown below. Indicate, with the corresponding arrows, how this process occurs. The carbocation 2 is more stable than 1, why is this? Explain it using (drawing) structures.
